Zoals tijdens Paars al gewaarschuwd werd,

Zit het grootste dubbele effect in de toen grotendeels gratis en
teruggegeven pensioenpremies. De beursballon verjubeld. De
belastingmeevallers door toen veel lagere (aftrekbare) pensioenpremies
gestoken in tunnels onder gras en dergelijke.

Nu moeten de pensioenpremies versneld bijbetaald worden, tegenover die harde
regels staan geen regels tegen verjubeleing tijdens beursbubbels. De absurd
hogere (aftrekbare) pensioenpremies zorgen voor fiks lagere
belastingopbrengsten die werkenden via omwegen, bezuiniginen of andere
hogere premies en belastingen weer bijbetalen, om het financieringstekort
niet verder te laten exploderen.

Het structurele begrotingstekort had toen beleidsmatig herberekend moeten
worden rekening houdend met alle tijdelijke effecten van de kunstmatig
verlaagde pensioenpremies op basis van de conjuncturele beursuitschieters.
De regels voor pensioenfondsen moeten rekening gaan houden met
beursschommelingen.

> Further Purchasing Power Decline Last Year
> ------------------------------------------

> THE HAGUE, 15/7/05 - Dutch households lost purchasing power again last
> year.
> After allowing for inflation, real disposable incomes fell by 1.4 percent.
> This followed a drop of 2.7 percent in 2003, according to figures from the
> Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS) released yesterday.
>
> Salaries went up 1.4 percent last year and income from social security and
> pensions by nearly 3 percent. But nothing was left of this increase in
> income because households had to pay much more in taxes and premiums.
> Pension premiums showed a particularly sharp jump of 9 percent. Household
> consumption spending was unchanged in volume terms but rose 1 percent due

> price increases.
>
> Household debt swelled by over 44 billion euros to 536 billion. Of this
> increase, 90 percent was accounted for by housing mortgages. Outstanding
> mortgages totalled 451 billion euros at end-2004. As a percentage of
> disposable income, household debt climbed to 234 percent in 2004 from 177
> percent in 2001.
>
> Savings also increased in 2004, by 14.5 billion euros to 198 billion.
> Households on balance sold shares worth 5.1 and bonds worth 0.5 billion.
> But due to nearly 9 billion euros in capital appreciation, households'
> securities still appreciated by 3 billion.
>
> In contrast to the loss of purchasing power, Dutch companies' earnings
> increased. Their total net profit grew by 7 billion euros to 60.8 billion.
> The profit gain was used by the companies for higher payouts to
> shareholders, higher investments and to strengthen their balance sheets.
