Dutch king: say goodbye to welfare state - Finance news

Of particular interest ...

"King Willem-Alexander delivered a message to the Dutch people from the government Tuesday in a nationally televised address: the welfare state of the 20th century is gone.
In its place a "participation society" is emerging, in which people must take responsibility for their own future and create their own social and financial safety nets, with less help from the national government."

and ...

"The 'participation society' has been on its way for some time: benefits such as unemployment compensation and subsidies on health care have been regularly pruned for the past decade. The retirement age has been raised to 67."
 

If that KING can do it what's up with ours??
 

There is no country "dutch". Is this about the Netherlands?
