       @Tagaziel they won't rise it, though. It's way to expensive and they all know that. It's just a carrot on the stick.

       @rato They will. That's the problem with Polish politics, we got so beaten down and exploited to the point we can only think of them with cynicism. It's expensive, sure, but comparable to aid given to businesses. Unlike those, it affects several million people and is immediately recovered through VAT, and the boost in consumption leads to increased tax revenues and likelihood of foreign investment. "Can't afford it" is a spent argument. Last 8 years showed we can. :P
