“He doesn’t seem to understand the US, either.”

- I’d say so too.

I don’t have a say when it comes to American domestic affairs, but if I did, my conclusion would be this; Whatever policy that works or does not work in Sweden will have little impact on American soil, simply beacause USA is not Sweden.

In any case, it’s a good thing Sweden has abandonded Socialism. Sweden was rich 20 years ago alright, but our standard of living is like heaven today compared to 1990 and we no longer support Cuba.

Couldn't agree more. I chuckle every time I hear someone referencing Sweden in the US health-care debate. I mean come on, we're a country of hardly 10 million people, and we've had over 50 years to make it work for us (and it doesn't even work that well, to be honest). It's absurd to think you can apply that somehow onto the US just by scaling it up 30-some times.
