Welfare Claims Down

Welfare claims have gone down this year in the Netherlands by 30,000 this year. In a country with a population of over 16 million, that is a lore portion of the population off of welfare.

In an earlier post, I talked about new policies to help with unemployment rates, and although they wouldn't be showing results this quickly, obviously something has been getting done right. I think that our country should take notes, maybe by helping people at one point and (this is the key) giving them the tools to get a job and get their lives working.
