As always in times of retrenchment, elected officials have needed to win the goodwill of voters and interest groups for these unpopular cutbacks. Once in place, such expansionary systems were destined to face cutbacks in one way or another. The variation between programmes is bigger for untransparent cutbacks than for transparent cutbacks, although there is also a noticeable variation among the latter. Secondly, untransparent cutbacks are expected to explain the variation between programmes better than transparent cutbacks. The grant cutbacks also heavily affected the financing of public works. This conclusion is strengthened by some further observations regarding how cutbacks were implemented. Unemployment has also very little effect on opinions towards cutbacks. The unemployment rate skyrocketed, welfare recipiency expanded and various cutbacks and changes in social benefits and welfare services were introduced. Programmes relatively susceptible to non-transparent reforms have suffered larger cutbacks than other programs. Targeting local government for spending cutbacks is an ineffective means of addressing the problem of rising costs associated with the advanced welfare state. Only in 1995 did the unemployed oppose cutbacks in income transfers more than those in work. Thus, odd ratios lower than one (1.00) indicate more negative opinions towards cutbacks than the opinions of the reference category (ref.). If governments anticipate more negative effects from cutting one programme than another, we expect implemented cutbacks to reflect this. Nonetheless, when it comes to cutbacks we have reasons to believe that pensioners are more influential than other groups. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
