Suècia o com gastar deu vegades més que Bush

No ho dic jo, ho diu Johan Norberg, comentant la campanya electoral d'uns comicis en els que la socialdemocràcia pot perdre el govern.
Do you wonder why few Swedish politicians dare to suggest deregulation of the labour market to create more jobs?

According to Carl B Hamilton´s calculations, the trade union LO spends around 825 million SEK to get the social democrats elected this year. That is around 91.7 SEK per Swede.

In 2002, Bush´s presidential campaign cost 2.8 billion SEK. That is 9.5 SEK per American.

Per capita, LO´s campaign costs almost ten times more than Bush´s campaign.
