what a wonderful life taxes up services down...I bet that goes down like a lead balloon
how blessed is Sweden
"""Andersson said planned savings would include reducing the cost of sick leave and making the asylum system more cost-effective as well as other measures.
Some money will also be redirected from Sweden's foreign aid budget. Spending on health, schools and jobs will be ring-fenced, Andersson said. Sweden will also speed up the expulsion of around 6,000 people whose asylum applications were rejected""
Sweden will make across-the-board spending cuts and raise borrowing to cope with as many as 190,000 refugees fleeing war in countries such as Syria and Iraq this year, the government said on Thursday.
The Migration Agency more than doubled its forecast for asylum seekers and said it needed an extra 70 billion Swedish crowns ($8.41 billion) over the coming two years.
Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson said asylum costs were unsustainable in the longer term and called on other European countries to do more to share the burden.
"Clearly, the budget shortfall is going to be bigger this year than in our most recent forecast," Andersson told reporters. "It is going to take longer for us to get back to balanced public finances. It is also going to mean that we are going to need to borrow money."
