I’m not a Commie. I want to be like Sweden!
No .....you're not a Communist.
You're a Welfarist in need of a " Dignity " card refill...
I’m not a Commie. I want to be like Sweden!
Such cute terminology! I haven’t heard it in my lifetime, but I’ve seen the signs in old newsreels. “Race mixing is Communist” and things like that. Whenever anybody results to that desperate lame name-calling, I know they’re very scared. And they have always failed. America always wins.
Ya see, we have always had demagogues scaring people. They get fans, like you. Then they go too far. Remember McCarthy taking on the generals in hearings and telling them who was more American? We showed him. Remember Nixon telling us that the Watergate hearings were nonsense and part of a liberal conspiracy? Where did he end up?
Now we have you folks with the same tired bullshit. The Justice Department and the FBI are part of a commie plot and the real Americans are Trump and co.
We’ll see how this one goes too, fella.
But keep saying “pinko.” Your grandpa would be proud you’re keeping the term alive.
How did that old kids song go?
Oh yeah, Joe and Ricky... sitting in a tree.
Do you also see that Canada has zero financial crisis?I see. Canada, with universal health care and public education?
Sweden, the "social democrat state" in all its government-funded programs?
With Long wait times albeit excellent services. Ronald McDonald's homes in Christchurch were a critical part of assisting my brother in law as he and his wife were able to be housed at an RMH on the hospital campus as my niece was battling a life threatening lung disease of unknown etiology for a month or so. Capitalism and Charity working together.New Zealand, with highly subsidized health care?
I have. And when your obesity rates are 17% less than the U.S., healthcare is less risky and thus cheaper with the last three countries you mentioned spending about 6% of GDP less than the U.S.. As far Dutch employee rights go is it still employee at will?Have you looked at employee rights in the Netherlands? Or the free health care for all minors?
Parse my words and you'll see that I am. Peruse the Essential Economics for Politicians thread if you dare. Lol!Parse my words if you want to but we both know who you are on here arguing for.... And it ain't Gary.
No something about it.You are a " Pinko "....and stop calling Forum posters " Fella " ...it's like yur a " Fag " or something.
Sweden remains outside the euro zone largely out of concern that joining the European Economic and Monetary Union would diminish the country’s sovereignty over its welfare system.I’m not a Commie. I want to be like Sweden!
You're welcomeBut Sweden is less communist than us. Your boy Iz told us that today.
Extensive welfare benefits. Whatever extensive government benefits do they offer to become less communistic than us?You're welcome
Sweden’s small, open, and competitive economy has been thriving and Sweden has achieved an enviable standard of living with its combination of free-market capitalism and extensive welfare benefits. Sweden remains outside the euro zone largely out of concern that joining the European Economic and Monetary Union would diminish the country’s sovereignty over its welfare system.
“Extensive programs to train unemployed workers.”Denmark has evolved into a modern, prosperous nation that is participating in the general political and economic integration of Europe. It joined NATO in 1949 and the EEC (now the EU) in 1973. However, the country has opted out of certain elements of the EU's Maastricht Treaty, including the European Economic and Monetary Union, European defense cooperation, and issues concerning certain justice and home affairs.
This thoroughly modern market economy features advanced industry with world-leading firms in pharmaceuticals, maritime shipping, and renewable energy, and a high-tech agricultural sector. Danes enjoy a high standard of living, and the Danish economy is characterized by extensive government welfare measures and an equitable distribution of income. An aging population will be a long-term issue.
Denmark’s small open economy is highly dependent on foreign trade, and the government strongly supports trade liberalization. Denmark is a net exporter of food, oil, and gas and enjoys a comfortable balance of payments surplus, but depends on imports of raw materials for the manufacturing sector.
Denmark is a member of the EU but not the eurozone. Despite previously meeting the criteria to join the European Economic and Monetary Union, Denmark has negotiated an opt-out with the EU and is not required to adopt the euro.
Denmark is experiencing a modest economic expansion. The economy grew by 2.0% in 2016 and an estimated 2.3% in 2017. The expansion is expected to decline slightly in 2018. Unemployment stood at 5.8% in 2017, based on the national measure. The labor market was tight in 2017, with corporations experiencing some difficulty finding appropriately-skilled workers to fill billets. The Danish Government offers extensive programs to train unemployed persons to work in sectors that need qualified workers.
Denmark maintained a healthy budget surplus for many years up to 2008, but the global financial crisis swung the budget balance into deficit. The 2017 deficit was 0.6%. The government projects a lower deficit in 2018, and public debt (EMU debt) as a share of GDP is expected to decline. The Danish Government plans to address tax reform and increased defense spending in 2018.
You're welcome.
I think you missed something.“Extensive programs to train unemployed workers.”
What other extensive government programs do they have to make them less communist than us? Do go on.
Although, it’s common knowledge that all of Scandinavia is less Communist than us, isn’t it?
LOL!!!
Your love of big government is showing again..Extensive welfare benefits. Whatever extensive government benefits do they offer to become less communistic than us?
Yes they are.“Extensive programs to train unemployed workers.”

Same lack of understanding as usual for the RFGʻs. They see many social programs as good and thus substantiating our social programs, albeit less communist than Scandanavia. But when you look at Scandinavia you can actually see that their programs are supported and thus funded through adherence to fiscal discipline that relies on risk management.I think you missed something.
It aint "us", its you people.
Us people are the reason you people dont drag all of us down.

U.S. doesnʻt do as well in anything that takes financial discipline hence our lower economic freedom ranking. Scandinavia is also ,on average, half as fat as we are. That makes for less disease and lower HC/HI cost that are 6 to 7 percent of GDP lower than the U.S.
