Y2K EXPENDITURE SHIFT - Sweden: "Stop the parliament for one year!" Found on C.S.Y2K. Another argument in favour of drastic expenditure shift in 1998!. John --------- Posted to the CCTA bomb2000 mailing list : "Stop the parliament for one year!" That was the headline in an article published on January 7, 1998, by Dagens Nyheter (the number one Swedish newspaper). The article was written by Anna Hedborg, the Director General of the Swedish Social Security Administration (SSA). Ms. Hedborg declared that the necessary Y2K work will take all available SSA resources for the 300 remaining workday. That is not enough for fixing SSA's 7500 programs. Accordingly, the agency will have to concentrate on the most critical welfare systems. The SSA considers the situation to be so serious that it will be necessary to put a hold on the implementation on any new welfare system changes until 1 January 2000. Anyhow, the SSA, for one, will not during the next 12+ months be able to pay any programming attention to parliamentary decisions regarding the welfare delivery system.
