“Why can a government not do with the money?”
“Aftonbladet’s leader board is the independent social democrat.”
“About three years, the deficit to be eur 43 billion. It computes the Swedish association of local authorities and regions, SALAR. The costs of childcare, schooling and care for the elderly increases simply more than the revenue.”
“to get it to go together, many municipalities have already been forced to raise local taxes or make big savings. Meanwhile, more children and more elderly people, which in the long term will require hundreds of new nursing homes, schools, and health centers.”
“– All of the municipalities say that they will work with efficiency. The crucial factor is how much the state will raise the local government grants, Annika Wallenskog, chief economist at SALAR said.you the agreement concluded between the social democrats, the green Party, the Centre party and the Liberals, says, “certainly.”
“is it Enough? It is also the case that local government borrowing soaring. The large investment requirements make that more and more municipalities have to take more and more loans to be able to build water-treatment plants, housing, power grids and other important.”
“In the Wednesday announced the national financial management authority that it is estimated that central government debt will fall below 35 percent of GDP already this year. 2021 will the national debt go below 30 per cent.nwhen the level of debt is so low, the government must according to the rules of the budget to explain to the parliament why it is not being done with the money instead.”
“Already now ask economists what motives the government has to not spend more, and borrow more, especially as the interest rates is below zero and everyone will see that Sweden needs significant investments in everything from infrastructure to health care, and welfare.”
“But an interview with the business magazine Bloomberg has, however, finance minister Magdalena Andersson said that she will have a good explanation for the fact that she not opened the wallet. It will be exciting to hear it, not least for the social democratic politicians and voters around the country.”
“They learn not to be satisfied with the condition of the roads, the length of the waiting lists or the size of the pre-school children’s groups. To the area of social insurance do not measure up, the trains stand still, pensions are low and young people do not have somewhere to stay exults not over.”
“It can’t be wrong to borrow money and fuel the economy with investments. That is exactly what Sweden needs. “
“the Question that Magdalena Andersson will eventually have to answer is why a social democrat-led government during the five years failed to make off with the money, despite the fact that all of the seen that the needs are.”
