People over 55 hit hardest by new Cabinet’s budget cuts

The plans in the D66, VVD, and CDA coalition agreement disproportionately affect people over the age of 55, two experts told the Telegraaf. Older workers will be hit hardest by cuts to unemployment (WW) and disability (WIA) benefits, while retirees will be most affected by healthcare cuts. A third expert added that the budget cuts also hit young people - everyone is affected.
