De @RaadvanState is kritisch op het #begrotingsbeleid van kabinet Rutte IV, en stelt dat het met de recente #Voorjaarsnota βexpansief begrotingsbeleidβ voert. Daarmee zouden te veel financiΓ«le risicoβs vooruitgeschoven worden, en wordt de ruimte voor komende kabinetten beperkt.

Verder adviseert de RvS om nog steviger in te zetten op één besluitvormingsmoment in het voorjaar waarin beslist wordt over de zowel de uitgaven als de inkomsten van de begroting. Opvolging van dat advies zou nadrukkelijk impact hebben de betekenis van #Prinsjesdag.
