This bloody government!!!

Last year we had an election. And a new government came in to power. The right wing one, in Swedish terms.

I was not a part of making that happen. I voted left wing as always. Partly because it goes hand in hand with my ideologies. But also because I did not believe a word of the crap that the right wing side was promising. They basically made the left wing arguments their own and left the left wing parties speechless. Bad planning by the left wing side and a lot of people fell for it.

A year later this new right wing government is tapping each others backs because of tax reductions. The sentence they constantly use is: "People now have a thousand sek extra in their wallets every month". That might be true. I don't know, I haven't really noticed. But true or not, tax reductions make me furious when the money to finance this is taken from people that are already vulnerable.

I work at a so called group home for people with Down Syndrome. And while the bloody government brag about the tax reductions, we get the information that we have to do a lot of cut downs this coming year. This even though they, in another document, agree on us needing the amount of money we have today (without cut downs) for those five people, living in the group home, to be able to live the life they have the right to according to LSS (a law that states the rights for people with handicaps).

Obviously this new government does not feel that that law is one that we should care much about. After all, it's just a law. And after all, it's just peoples life we are talking about here.
