Stop being so socialist and giving out everything for free. You can't pay for all of that free college education and free health care without getting the money from somewhere, and taxes are already high in Europe...
Also, interesting how college is the most expensive in the USA (although the best colleges and vast majority of them are in the USA) and yet USA has the highest % of people going to college than any country in the world, including European countries which has it for free. In many cases, the USA % doubles Eu countries with college graduates.
I think that has to do more with the culture of learning here, and the culture of college and the athletics that go with it and make it prestigious. |
Well Scandinavian countries are doing rather fine and we have free education, healthcare etc. You can have socialist market economy and still have goverment doing fine financially. Not to mention USA has just as high debt ratio as many European countries and you don't have any of these benefits.

depedns on what you think is fine
yeah scandinavia has pretty good economics but good isn't being just sustainible but also highly productive and competition
the old USA free market was the best kind of place where competition helped people make better and better things for the soceity
also scandinavia is so good as they had a previous good standards which let them leverage that with the credit system
once the FED and other central banks go down and GOLD standard comes back,every country will need to compete and have active part in production to sustain their status not just really on investment and banking
