I saw a news program the other day about the various plans for our economy the politicians in our parlianment want to work with.
There is a massive need of finding the areas where the money spent should be lowered.
One of those areas are the Department of social services. We are talking millions of DKK being wasted on residential treatmetn every year because a large number of the teenagers run. Every town is on their own and those who decide where the children should be placed hide how they ended up choosing the programs, group homes etc.
The risk of corruption is existing. Not even the politicians seem to know who their on assistants have chose a specific program. Are there money under the table?
A Danish blog is right now scanning the Internet in order to find our what kind of violations each group home have. Here is the link. Howoever it is only in Denmark.
I due however feel that the politicians should demand that accountants could go through the books for the safety of the children. They are the one who looses their children if they are removed without reason just so foster care parents with friends in the department of social services can get easy money as foster parents.
In some parts of Denmark the cost overrun in the foster care system has resulted in no Dentist visits for children. So in order to “save” a few children from so-called abusive parents the health of all children must suffer.
Not fair in my ears.

Yesterday the Danish borders was again in control of our authorities.
I am so happy. Crime will lower and we as ordinary Danes will once again be able to walk the streets freely without being the victim of foregin robbers.
Of course the travel time will be increased too for us Danes if we would travel abroad on holidays but I don’t care because like many Danes I have not been abroad since the European Union made it possible to transfer traffic fines across the border, so we were forced to respect the speed limits in other countries. It made the travel times so long that any holiday abroad would be limited by the transport times. Using more than 24 hours to get to Italy will be a lost holiday.
However the work can not stop here. Stopping the criminals at the border can only be part of the plan. We need to find out what the motive of choosing Denmark rather than other countries to rob while we need to avoid punishing those few real tourist – the 10-15 percent of all the visitors, which are not criminals.
It is a lot of work.
But I went into town yesterday to celebrate the victory. We have a long war against crime in front of us and we intend to win it – one victory at the time.
I got some reactions on my previous post. It seems that not only the taxpayers are suffering.
The kids in the foster care system is too.

I saw that some kind of expert stated that we should be lowered in pay because we are too expensive to hire in Denmark. I know that they had a dispute over at the computer firm CSC, which is a company which has not paid taxes in Denmark for years. So in return for not contributing our society they wanted their employees to work for a paycheck which would be equal to the one parking attendants or people working in shops get.
They want Danes in the computer industry to work for 15,000 DKK per month as international experts get when they are invited to Denmark.
But due to our tax system and housing prices it would result in people not being able to work in that line of business.
Because it looks like that the management in CSC has succeed in bribing another trade union to provide members for jobs at their company the employees now have to go home and tell their children that they must starve or go down and stand in a line at a soup kitchen because they cannot afford to feed their families.
It is not fair because the company is hiding their income in some off-shore company so with less tax from the employees due to the extremely low pay and no tax from the company the Danish society will be hurt badly. Unlike other countries in Europe our system depend on all contributing to the state.
We have lost so much the last few years and I have not been able to find conditions as harsh as in Denmark in any country on the earth. I am both angry and disappointed.
Reports are that tourists are canceling their “holidays” in Denmark due to our increased border control measures.
Fine!
The reason that we introduced them in the first place was that we were robbed by tourists from the eastern and southern part of Europe. Of course a few of them were honest citizens, but it has been so lately that whenever we heard someone speaking foreign languages we closed down at once. Putting bars up in our windows and checking the doors all the time. We were prisoners in our own homes trying to prevent being victim for home invasions.
Also our shops were on alert. They have been able to avoid most of the thefts by the use of ethnic profiling of their customers, but when the police started to check tourists leaving Denmark they found a lot of goods which were stolen in businesses all over Denmark.
I have learned that the European Union is not that happy with Denmark because we enforce our borders but once upon a time we were the happiest people in the world. It was before the tourist invasion and before the canceling of our early retirement which meant the end of the Danish welfare society. Now you cannot find harshness or poverty like we endure anywhere in the world.
If they don’t want us to be a part of the European Union because we enforce our borders I don’t care if they kick us out of the European Union. All we do is paying for lazy people in Greece, Italy, Spain and Portugal who have not paid their taxes for a long time. People who even delivery toxic vegetables to us like the cucumbers from Spain.
I do want to be able to open a window or to walk in my garden without being afraid of a home invasion. If that takes that no tourists at all will be visiting Denmark, then it is fine.
