@jack mallers dude!! Just noticed line of credit is active for me in The Netherlands! If only I could have a (digital) debit card to make payments with in stores, from the line of credit... I would almost have no more use for my bank account. If I could add a card to my NFC chip of my phone... gamechanger!

In The Netherlands... Taxpayer money was once intended for healthcare, housing, energy, infrastructure, the social system, etc.
The so-called 'collective provisions'.
In 2026, €41.54 billion is going toward NON-collective provisions. A family of 5 therefore pays €11,500 in 2026 (€2,300 per person) for non-collective provisions.
That's nearly €1,000 per month for a family of 5.
Let that sink in.
2026 breakdown:
Climate policy: €6.8 billion
Nitrogen policy: €15 billion
Ukraine: €3.5 billion
Asylum: €8 billion
EU contribution: €8 billion
NATO: €160 million
WHO: €80 million
