Sweden Forced to Raise Retirement Age To Pay For Mass Immigration Policy.
The increasing costs of population growth in Sweden, drivenalmost entirely mass migration, have forced the government to seriously consider raising the national retirement age to pay for the additional costs.
Swedish Socialist party Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson announced that the retirement age would likely be raised in the near future in order to offset increased welfare costs, Swedish newspaper Expressen reports.
“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.
The minister made her remarks following an economic report from the Local Authorities and County Council (SKL) released earlier this week. The report claimed that the welfare state would grow faster than revenue obtained through taxation due to the dramatic rise of Sweden’s population.
I think their precious summer-long paid vacations are going to be in the chopping block soon, as well. My cousins always loved to boast about that. Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!
Was ”chopping block” insensitive, considering their wonderful, sharp instrument-loving new citizens? Oopsies.
“but …. but …. but …. It’s FREE!!!”
… said every progtard ever
A lot of Americans like to boast about Sweden’s policies.
A lot of Americans haven’t bothered to learn the facts.
“Looking at those who start working at 30, there should be opportunities to work longer than 65,” Andersson said.
“Opportunities”. Typical socialist lies. What she means is mandatory working past 65 to pay for all those nifty socialist votes coming from the immigrants. What she doesn’t realize is that those votes (and their offspring) will be voting for a sharia compliant government and she’ll either convert or likely be a slave for them in everything but name.
@scr_north, and what’s up with the ”start working at age 30”?! I bet everyone involvef with this blog started working by 16 or younger! Geez, Sweden.
The majority of the people are probably sick about the way their country’s gone, just like here. Wherever the leftists thrive civilization is bound to suffer and decay.
We are teetering close to the same insanity. Immigration is still a hot mess and being argued for by way too many.
They ran out of other people’s money and now they want more.
Pretty soon Sweden will lose their last two exports. Hockey players and porn stars.
That’s tragic.
These idiots won’t realize its to late until the crescent’s on their flag and they have to add Stan to the end of the country’s name.
Wonder how tourism is doing?
Thought so.
Sweden’s tourism industry has been threatened by the massive upswing in immigration, argues the Swedish newspaper Svenska Dagbladet, which explains that many hotels, campsites and other accommodations that are important to the industry will be fully occupied by asylum seekers, with the high season approaching.

I thought the plan was to bring in a bunch hard working, tax paying, migrants to support all their social programs.
Can nobody help me finish the joke? The only thing Swedes export are porn stars and hockey players….
Sir. I am indignant. My WIFE is Swedish!
Really? What position does she play?
A thousand Swedes
chased through the weeds
by one crippled Norwegian.
“start work at 30”, are they serious? How many of us were already working at 16? If it wasn’t so disruptive to the free world I’d be cheering for everything they will be getting. The damn Euros are fucking things up for more than themselves!
Maybe they’re employed at 16, but don’t start working until they’re 30?
Once, there were Vikings in Sweden…
The Swede’s must be so confused, how did this go wrong ? It’s because theyv’e never dealt with Non White People, they don’t understand these” RH Positive People” as they’re mostly RH Negative People !
And how many extra years are Americans working due to illegal immigration, too high legal immigration, deliberately bad trade deals and excessive government spending that skims middle class wages for the past 50 years to the politically connected ultra-wealthy?
