15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Plenary Sitting
The economic views expressed are strongly opposed to tax increases, particularly the car tax, which places a heavy burden on the public and is attributed to the state's inability to generate added value. There is support for stimulating the economy and making the tax system more equitable. The overall stance is fiscally critical, emphasizing the wasteful spending on IT development and the way state funds are being thrown "down the drain."

15th Riigikogu, 6th Session, Information Hour
Economic viewpoints highlight the role of financial scarcity in the inaccessibility of healthcare services and its negative impact on the national health budget. State intervention is supported as a means to alleviate the social pressure that forces individuals to take out high-interest loans to cover medical costs. It is stressed that ensuring the provision of these services would help prevent greater expenditures in the future.

The speaker objects to Estonia turning into an outsourcing state, signaling a reluctance to export certain types of public services. Although a potential statistical increase in the export market is recognized, the notion that this should occur by housing foreign prisoners here is dismissed.

Support is given to social redistribution and increased spending on the elderly, arguing that this is affordable for the state and stimulates domestic consumption, as the funds return to circulation. Criticism is leveled against the constant growth of bureaucracy and the ideology of "green populism," which receives funding instead of addressing actual needs.
