Cutting benefits to fund the creation of more jobs would benefit people in the long run, even if it is at a short-term cost. Clearly this is something you care about and I neither know nor care enough about Finnish politics to make a really informed opinion here. However from your previous posts I can see that you dislike people who are not of a left-leaning political persuasion, which forces me to question just how bad they actually are behind your bias.
Benefits have been steadily cut since the late 90's, this is not just some passing little thing. What's more benefits have always been cut from the poor, elderly, ill, the education and children, and rarely if ever bettered in any way. Students have every reason to feel betrayed, right before the elections they were promised in very exact words that the cuts would not hit education this time by the very same people that now decided to do exactly that - 150 million Euros cut from education on the long run is not a small thing in a country the size of Finland.
In any case I'm also not sure how many jobs this approach has thus far created, but certainly Finland's grown something new - a whole new group of people living well below the poverty level that didn't used to be there before the 90's depression. Besides I think it's a bit impolite of you to suggest Pessi's opinion biased when a) you admit yourself you're not informed about or even care about Finnish politics and b) being left-leaning is a choice, often influenced by the simple fact that the left side parties are pushing things that matter to you. If left wing parties' focus of importance helps Pessi, not criticizing the opposing parties' unfavorable decisions would be illogical. In the same way people who feel Basic Finns stand behind causes they view important back them up. You (generic you) may not like it but that's how democracy works, someone having different priorities than you doesn't make them biased.
