The Wealthy Welfare State?

Friday: No Coffee « The Confluence: "... Funny how you don’t hear about Denmark, Norway and Sweden in the news. They seem to be able to keep their fiscal houses in order despite their high level of social spending. Soooo, there goes another set of beautiful theories destroyed by ugly facts. Hmmm, is that what the right wingers are counting on? That most Americans can’t think their way out of a paper bag, that graphs and statistics make their heads hurt and that after a couple of decades of Fox News, they’ll believe any stupid theory?..."
