The bad student

After having announced an increase of taxes for individuals and corporations and cuts in some deductions in the year 2011, how is Luxembourg government wasting taxpayers' money?
  1. Additional EUR 20.000.000 are being asked to support and expand a technologically outdated "E-Go" system;
  2. Making contraceptive pills available for free to girls up to the age of 25;
  3. Expanding public services and increasing the number of public workers.
In a period where every other European country is being asked to control expenditure, what do Luxembourg decision makers know that others don't?
