      Mind you Greece just registered almost 5% primary surplus (surplus before paying debt!), and 1,3% surplus, meaning it’s fiscally responsible. The surplus came despite the government lowering taxes the past years and comes from killing tax evasion.

      If they removed minister pensions, benefits and reduced their salaries, we would likely go up one extra percentage point.

      Trust me I am a scientist. (Who knows nothing of economy)

      Budget suprlus is often misunderstood as pure good. But it also means that the state has more money sitting useless under it’s pillow instead of invested in it’s infrastructure or invested in it’s people where it can create more growth.

      It’s a sign that the economy is doing well and a good insurance for bad times, but not necissarily always the goal to strive for.

      The 3% max is nuts, considering that is the EU average.

      For those that wonder what the “secret” is for Denmark, it is just plain old history. 1960’s and 70’s was economic rollercoaster for the nation, and it ended up scarring and scaring the nation so much that politicians regardless of ideology adopted the “no spending without funding” rule.
      It does not really matter if it is left, right or center government. The economic foundation of the previous government is likely to carry 99% same old economic governance over to the next one.
      Business in Denmark and especially the people working for that business pays a lot in taxes, but the bonus is long term stability.

      France at 25th place.

      And people are already one inch away from voting Le Pen or Mélenchon because of “austerity”.

      Depressing.

      It’s probably because of Novo. Some of us are a little worried (like 5% worried) that Novo will end up being what Nokia was to Finland in the 00s.
