That's weird, Trish Regan has been with Fox News and Fox Business Network as an anchor since 2015, before that CBS, CNBC and Bloomberg 

Yeah arguing a small and homogeneous population as an excuse is a bit like pointing to Venezuela every time Socialism is discussed, then the conservatives on both sides of politics wash their hands and happily think "job done" rebutting those pesky examples of progressive societies and move back to their comfort zone of supporting the poorly implemented status quo of the current system  

I don't think anything will change until we stop making excuses and look at best practices around the World in a evidence based scientific way 

I'm suggesting a massive country like the US is different than a tiny country like Denmark. Not just in population, but the size of the country.

If the 50 states became 50 countries, we'd see massive changes on how those states are run due to differing ideologies in certain regions. Its not an excuse, its an obvious truth. Some of these new countries would shift to a welfare state with varying degrees of success. Many people would also move to the less the taxed countries to avoid massive taxing like Denmark. Much like Europe, they wouldn't all share the same ideas on taxing, immigration, etc.

First and foremost, the US needs to get better at spending and simply being more efficient with spending. If you want to shift into a welfare state, that's kind of important.

Obvious truth? Jeez, what's up with all this cognitive bias BS, people are so imbedded in their fairy kingdom thinking 

With larger countries you have efficiencies of scale, but really anything can be managed at any scale, conservatives use the "size" excuse but have never actually shown any evidence, pretty much what that FOX Anchor did with her cognitive bias shining like a beacon

If you truly want to convince people of your argument, then stop with the excuses and and the same FOX one-liners
