Difficulty for sellers and bankruptcies on the rise It is not only construction workers, employees in schools, health and care, refugees, labor immigrants as well as the unemployed and sick who are affected by the austerity policy of the Tidö government. Bankruptcies are at a record high and increasing. At the same time, one of Sweden's top salespeople tells me that it is difficult for his professional group as well. It's not going well…

Svantesson wants growth without investing money
Growth without investing money. The Tidö Agreement's Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson advocates in an interview with Dagens Nyheter a policy that emphasizes increased growth to solve Sweden's investment needs. The books "The deficit myth" by Stephanie Kelton and "The entrepreneurial state" by Mariana Mazzucato raise questions about Svantesson's proposal. Svantesson suggests that growth can be achieved without the state creating money itself. Kelton…
Government: Create more low-wage workers
Tidölaget's strategy is to, after a short time, lower the unemployment fund by 5% every 100 days until it reaches a bottom of SEK 8030 before tax per month. This contrasts with the needs of the long-term unemployed. These are often functionally varied often functionally varied or long-term ill and cannot cope with the low-wage jobs the government advocates to solve...
Harder to survive as unemployed
The government, together with the Sweden Democrats, will put forward a proposal for a new social security fund where income, and not the time worked, should be the basis for the insurance. The government calls it "the biggest reform of Swedish unemployment insurance in 40 years". The proposal is met with mixed reactions. LO calls it a "disaster" and says it is unfair and...
The truth about immigration
A conservative view is that a country can either have a sustainable welfare state or high levels of immigration. But that view is wrong. The fact is that we can achieve both a well-functioning welfare state and increased immigration. By using progressive taxes and government deficits to invest in making everyone in society feel good…
The right thinks the poor should eat less
Poor people should eat less. At the same time, 500 people in Sweden cannot afford basic expenses and certainly no greed inflation. In 000, 2022% of households lacked a buffer for unforeseen expenses. But the right's solution to inflation is that low-income earners should reduce their consumption of electricity, heat and food. Therefore, many Swedes now have to lower the temperature...
Forcibly activating them with welfare does not work
Forcibly activating them with welfare does not work. Firstly, the person who is forced to work must have a wage in accordance with the collective agreement so as not to out-compete ordinary labour. But the government is once again trying to force unemployed people on welfare to work full-time without more pay than welfare, which a writer in Dagens ETC believes is a way to humiliate society's losers. Minister of Finance…
Resistance to deficits and investments leads to recession in Sweden
Resistance to deficits and investments leads to a recession in Sweden. According to a debate article by Daniel Suhonen and Enna Gerin, Sweden is backing away from Kataly's handfalls into the future. The Tidö government suffers from a morbid inability to grasp Sweden's problems. The country will probably enter a recession. Growth will be the lowest in the EU. Swedish households do not have…
Inflation peaked in July 2022 in the US but not the interest rate
Inflation in 2022 was due to bottlenecks in production due to the pandemic. The rate hikes did not stop inflation, according to Alan Blinder, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve. Since July 2022, the rate of price increases in the United States has decreased. Unemployment is the lowest in 50 years. The rising prices are otherwise due to too little competition between the few dominant market players and too free pricing....
The two-degree target is possible if the state invests now
The states of the world and Sweden must subsidize the transition to green technology and green energy as soon as possible. It is important for the two-degree target for global temperature increase. Without the state, Sweden risks missing both industrial competitive advantages and the chance to save the climate and nature. The 1,5 degree target has probably been exceeded. But if the states of the world and Sweden invest properly in...
