Sweden’s secret recipe

Sweden’s secret recipe – Advice from the successful, tax-cutting finance minister of Sweden! Three years ago, Sweden cut taxes and reduced gov’t spending while other Eurozone countries opted for borrowing and stimulus. Today, it’s obvious those that went the Keynesian route got nothing for their trouble but huge debt while Sweden had the fastest growth in Europe last year. And the sky didn’t fall. Obama is wrong again.

      • Uhm that graph tells me that half believe in Something or Someone higher than themselves and the other half is split (believing in a specific Deity or no believe in a specific Deity or anything spiritual). It is pretty much the same throughout Europe. The majority is spiritual even if not specific about their spirituality so I am not sure what you are trying to say here. Is this is supposed to be a note for something I fail to see it.

        Overall it has nothing to do with the fact that Sweden is embracing a more conservative stance in politics and free market as both things can be done without a specific believe in a specific Deity nor a vague spiritual belief or no belief. Free market principles are for everyone.

  • Sweden has been a social democracy for decades. Look what happens when you start down the road toward free market principles. Obama is always wrong because his ideology is one of failure and misery.
