If they don't stop increasing taxes and squandering money on their pet projects, then Scotland's economy will only continue to lag behind the rest of the UK.
Instead of reining in Scotland's out-of-control benefits bill, Swinney and his new finance secretary Jenny Gilruth are clearly intent on raising tax even further on people and business to fund their endless profligacy.
Every single Scot is over £2,700 better off because we are part of a strong United Kingdom.
John Swinney and his ministerial colleagues need to accept their approach is going to mean more pain for Scots in the coming years, through more tax rises or spending cuts or both.
