A few too many Tide Pods munchouts and snorted condoms would be my guess for Elizabeth Bruenig's impaired reasoning faculties.

[Buckeye McFrog]

The upshot is that support for such programs IS rising.

Because Millenials look at those programs in Europe and say “uhhh.....yeah, that sounds cool!” without investing any rational thought or analysis into it.

[SpaceBar]

Being force fed the Scandinavian model of socialism is precisely why Europe is heading towards oblivion fast.

[Noob1999]

Yeah, that’s what I want. Double my taxes so the 50% that don’t pay taxes can move into my neighborhood.

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

I couldn’t ever support a split, but you can’t help but see the benefits that would be involved for everyone if the US were to partition — conservatives get the western half and a swathe running down to Florida, liberals get the northeast to the great lakes and the down to the mid-Atlantic.

[JmyBryan]

Isn’t Nordic white supremacist?

[aquila48]

The high school sophomore that wrote this drivel...

[Mr. Jeeves]

Yes, all we need to get started is a Nordic-style population. The Democrats need to get on that. :)

[L,TOWM]

She left out the biggest reason. Our maintaining a military second to none that in large part benefits the Northern European communes. We are extending national security welfare to these nations and have for quite some time; they use the subsidized national security to have cradle to grave welfare...

"…we do…have some nice things: Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, universal public schools."

WARNING! Severe dain bramage alert! 🚨 🚨

I doubt she's used any of these things except, maybe, public schools...and that alone would account for her inability to think critically. What a dolt.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

The "Noridic-style" welfare system used to work because of the homogeneous demographics and culture of the Scandinavian countries. Everybody in the boat was rowing, and an innate prudence and self control helped assure the system was sustainable.

But most countries are not so blessed. Most countries have a rather large parasitic underclass of rabble and genetically challenged lay-abouts. This perpetual tumor on society can not be cured, will never be cured. It can only be managed.

Visit an emergency room and notice the demographic makeup of the "clients". When free stuff is available, certain groups of people can't control themselves and consume as much of a scarce resource as possible, their countrymen be damned.

And yet, we do, somehow, manage to have some nice things: Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, universal public schools.

Don’t count on these “nice” things being around when you’re old enough to be eligible for them.

[PLMerite]

Like the Iron Lady said, more or less, “It’s all good until you run out of other people’s money.”

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’m all for it! Make the freeloaders ski down a mountain or 10 miles cross country to get their food stamps! Bobsledding not allowed.

[heights]

She seems to have omitted the fact that their Muslim and other “Migrant” Populations now consume 50% of their Social Welfare Programs.

[WayneS]

And yet, we do, somehow, manage to have some nice things: Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, universal public schools.

All of which, to a strict constructionist, are unconstitutional.

[The Pack Knight]

Did she not learn her lesson after Ben Shapiro took her to school? Maybe she should read this:

Mises Wire: "If Sweden and Germany Became US States, They Would Be Among the Poorest States"

[NorthMountain]

And yet, we do, somehow, manage to have some nice things: Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, universal public schools.

Nice things? Bullcrap. Those are colossal frauds, building up unpayable and ultimately unserviceable debt. They will destroy us.

[Right Wing Assault]

We could have a bunch more muslims,too. Right lizzy?

[Mopp4]

.....merely marginal achievements where justice, equality and freedom are concerned.

Right....So millions want to flood our country illegally to take advantage of our "merely marginal achievements". Why don't they all flock to Denmark then???
What a twit.....
