Oh, but wouldn't it be great if they did?

I enjoyed most of my time in America, and for the government to save money on healthcare like we do - because it's a massive savings actually - would really go far to keeping its people working better, for longer.

It baffles me to hear the party of responsible government and cost-cutting hasn't figured out that investing in infrastructure, consolidated medicine, and cleaner water and air, keeps skilled workers paying taxes longer without costly training time for replacements.

It's simple math. Can we still do simple math?

But, and this will get ya steamed, go see how the Vikings do it. Some days you may look longingly at what little socialism we have, but once you've been there you'll understand why we look similarly at what the swedes and Danes and Fins and Norwegians are doing. They've got their shit so much more together - albeit imperfect - that we could all learn from their setup.
