Hunh?

So, does that mean that the Swedish government is going to pay YOU interest to take their newly printed money?

uhhhh no.
Sorry.
Andy, I'm not sure how you can call what the US is doing 'austerity' given that our spending has increased in every single year of this century.

No, they charge you for putting/keeping money in the banks, just like Switzerland did recently.
Then again, those "service charges" ...
Still selling bonds rather than creating their own currency.
I've created my own currency.
It's indexed to lead so when I get a call from some scammer pretending to be a collection agency I can pay them with it.

It's not. that's the point, and why your economy is now picking up.
Here's what I wrote:
Europe is late to the table. Now they're seeing how it's worked in the US, while their austerity hasn't, they want in too. Let's hope it works for them, so we can ride everybody's coattails.
