The answer to the Crisis is here:

Just a few thoughts less then an hour before the publication of the Government’s rescue program to revitalize the economy. For the very first, it is a hard economic situation, but there’s still no deep crisis as we do not face collapse in the tax revenues, there’s still plenty of resources to distribute to pensions, the health system are fully operative; but most important: there’s no problems of mass unemployment. I saw some numbers from Ireland only some days ago were the unemployment rate were dangerously close to 8 %, thus our 2,5 % is merely what we have to expect. However, everyone is talking about their expectations to the Red-Green’s aid programme and this is my guess for how it will be received by the Opposition, the economic elites, the Unions and so on:

- The Progressive will never ever by positive to anything.
- The Conservatives will properly be satisfied with some of the tax cuts for the industries.
- The Liberals, I’ll think, will be satisfied with the focus development in the infrastructures.
- The Christ Democrats would properly be some negative to most of the program, but will –I guess- endorse anything that would seems like rehabilitation on Churches, schools and homes for the elderly.
- The Trade Unions, rather, THE Union, have enough influence on the Labour that they know they are the part win most gains, but will probably make some protest just for stating that they are not a part of the government and that they still expect something.
- The Enterprise Confederation will be angry. Angry and disappointed. They will start complaining on the lack of competition, the lack of free marked mechanisms, then they will join the Progressive and complain about the high taxation of the upper classes that they are robbed for values and due to the following depression won’t be able to create anything at all. I guess. It’s the usual; in darker as in brighter days.

In general: nobody is fully satisfied, and the complaining will continue even as Norway are more stable and fortunate in its economical structures then most of the other countries involved in this crisis.
