Sweden has estimated that as much as a fifth of the workforce is on long-term sick leave or early retirement due to sickness, often put down to "burn-out" ...

Sounds like Philidelphia, chicago, NYC, atlanta....

Heres an idea: Why don't you just bring in more muslims?
After they behead a few dozen depressed bikers, they can give your woman fitting instructions for that new burka.

If you pay people not to work, many will accept your offer. The only time govt handouts work even partially is when they're tied to performance--the more and harder you work, the more benefits you get. Sweden used to have the latter policy, which is why its entitlement state worked for a while. But then they started paying people who weren't working, and are now beginning to see the result.

Sweden has estimated that as much as a fifth of the workforce is on long-term sick leave or early retirement due to sickness, often put down to "burn-out" and the government has been cracking down on fraud to get more people back to work.

A couple of observations:

1) 1/5 of the workforce is idle. Wow. Better import more muzzies.

2) How do you prove someone isn't "burned out", especially after you've given them benefits for being sick with "burn out"?

I know a person who is in their 30s and on social security for depression. Person spends their days smoking pot, getting drunk, and playing video games. That's on top of the lithium etc. Sad.

I guess if
a) You're a Hell's Angel

and

b) You're too big of a pussy to kick someone's @$$ and take their lunch money.

Then

c) You're on welfare 70% of the time.

70 percent of members were certified as depressed by the same doctor

Criminals commit crimes. This one's really easy. All you have to do is lie.
