Lmao, social securitys getting gutted, calling it now.
“I would like these decisions to be made this year. The closer we get to the election, the harder it becomes to make them”. She is calling her electors idiots in a fancy way 😂.
How about cutting member of parliaments salaries, perks, retirement and travel allowances. Removing their private healthcare and requiring them to attend public/state healthcare providers with no exceptions.
Cutting leads to worse economy, which leads to more cuts..? Seen many times before, these people just don’t learn.
We can take it out from Purras salary!
Oh you will touch the pensions alright. Wait a few years and see that it is a must. Tired of every politician being afraid to talk about touching pensions. They know that the majority of voters are pensioners or those soon coming to pension age. So they don’t dare to even mention touching pensions.
Why would you not touch pensions? How does it make sense that people who have paid mortgages and own summer cabins and all kinds of luxuries, get to keep high pensions in a crisis like this? Unbelievable.
Cut the damn pensions by raising taxes for all those pensioners who have already paid their mortgages. This is not a time to allow people to live in luxury like that. Future generations will suffer from it.
Not to mention that pensioners already have that kind of health care that future generations will not have. Go visit some old people’s home and see how they live. They press a damn button for someone to come and put sugar to their coffee. No future generation in Finland will have the life standard that these pensioners enjoy. Not even close to it.
Finland seems to be in a sticky economic situation.
There is high unemployment, which means the government pays more in unemployment benefits. At the same time, not enough new jobs are being created. Growth is low so tax revenue is also low.
They already made €2.6b in cuts. Now, they want to cut corporate subsidies which likely includes support for startups and MSEs, the very backbone this country needs if it wants to innovate, create jobs, and build competitiveness.
At the same time, they are increasing net borrowings. But it’s not clear where that money will go. If it’s not used for investments that grow the economy, it just adds more debt without helping long-term.
These cuts might be necessary because the budget is tight. But overall, the country feels stuck in low growth, high unemployment, low competitiveness, and rising debt. That is a difficult cycle to break.
Why wouldn’t we touch pensions, it’s an expenditure of close to 40 billion euros and it keeps growing year by year.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
The correct cut would be orpo and purra leaving the ministery.
Shame does not exist anymore it seems or they just dont care.
There’s plenty of money to cut from development aid. And to transfer some of Yleisradio’s funding to state budget
Who voted these clowns into office so they could give their buddies tax breaks?
Ofc not touching pensions… because why should old rich people have to suffer
1. Remove voting rights from people over 65
2. Cut pensions
3 ????
4. PROFIT
What are the old people going to do? Go on a strike?
Should just tax high-earners (>€5k) more and reduce taxes for poor, also increase basic social benefits. Currently all the excess the high-earners make will be invested in foreign stocks and money leaves Finnish markets. It’s good for those people’s future but bad for Finland right now. Most of the pennies poor get will be used in Finnish shops immediately. Also, when poor can pay better rent investments in housing sectors will rise, more loans will be taken and that is hella important for the whole economy as it brings more money into circulation. I don’t suggest increasing housing benefits but basic benefits. Housing benefits skew the markets and just make housing expensive.
