This is what happens when you pay people not to work, and you rape people who do work. They don't like it when you call it communism, but the funny thing is they believe that these wackos are trying to create Denmark.What a bummer. Sure COVID was Trump's fault, it makes a PROG feel good about stuff. But the unemployment rate consistently dropped from 13.3% to 6.3 on Trump's watch. It inched downward a pinch first few months of Xiden, and then April came and go figure.

The image [Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.] conjures up is of a warm and fuzzy social democracy in which market economics are kept on a tight leash through regulation, the rich are heavily taxed, and the social safety net is generous.
That is, however, an inaccurate and highly misleading description of those Northern European countries today. … Sanders’s vision of Scandinavian countries, as with much of his ideology, seems to be stuck in the 1960s and 1970s … .
The citizens in these countries are well informed and they know where their money is going. Contrast that with our situation. We have no idea where our money is going, higher math is racist, our kids are being taught to hate based on skin color, the rule of law is breaking down, and millions of people aren't even citizens. Good ole Chuck and Nancy are not creating anything near a Scandinavian Country, but progs don't like it when you tell them what they are really building.Dembots have this failed idea that Denmark is some sort of socialist utopia...it's not: Denmark Is Not a Socialist Economic NirvanaThis is what happens when you pay people not to work, and you rape people who do work.

Arecent New York Times op-ed observed that “Danes haven’t built a ‘socialist’ country. Just one that works.” A more precise observation would have been that Denmark has built a free-market democracy that works for Danes.
Given the fact that America is a much larger and far more diverse and multifaceted nation than Denmark, comparing the two countries’ economic systems is not always straightforward. For example, the competitive Nordic nation is an economy of 5.6 million people living in an area half the size of South Carolina.
Nonetheless, any meaningful attempt to compare Denmark with America and draw some practical policy implications for the United States should really “mean embracing more flexible labor markets, light regulations and a deeper commitment to free trade,” as noted in a recent Washington Post commentary by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
In other words, the comparison and discussion on the two democracies should be really about how to overcome socialism and embrace free-market capitalism.
In his op-ed “Bernie Sanders’s Scandinavian Fantasy,” Zakaria concisely pointed out:

Today’s Denmark, along with other Scandinavian countries, is a competitively free-market-oriented democracy—and as then-Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in 2015, “far from a socialist planned economy.”
In addition to having stayed very open to free trade, among other notable policy measures, Denmark has kept its minimum-wage-free labor market flexible by allowing employers to adjust their workforces rapidly—in both hiring and dismissing—in response to changing market conditions.
That kind of free-market policy mix has earned Denmark an economic-freedom ranking as the eighth-freest country, according to The Heritage Foundation’s recently released 2020 Index of Economic Freedom. The Index cites as reasons for the country’s high resilience and competitiveness its free-market policies, such as a competitive corporate tax rate (which is lower than America’s), regulatory efficiency, market openness, and the rule of law that Denmark has long institutionalized.
Indeed, it isn’t accurate to characterize Denmark as “socialist.” The reality is that Denmark is one of the finest examples of countries committed to the free-enterprise system, which is often reinforced by a well-functioning civil society.
Free-market capitalism is not, of course, a one-size-fits-all, dogmatic system. The very concept of economic freedom suggests that individual countries will find their own unique routes to prosperity and resilience.
Undoubtedly, Denmark offers informative and practical examples of a society trying to balance the role of the government and that of individuals in its own distinctive approach. The Danish case reflects a resilient commitment to economic freedom that is based on a high degree of mutual trust between individuals and government.
It may be quite politically tempting to talk about Denmark as an economic model. However, when it comes to making America more like the highly competitive small Scandinavian economy, as often urged by the democratic socialist Sanders, we should focus on how to emulate its free-market policies that have advanced economic freedom, not big-government socialism.
The Dems in fact want to do the opposite...they want to grow distrust between the individual and their Govt. Much more akin to what we saw National Socialist due in the 20s and 30s in GermanyThe citizens in these countries are well informed and they know where their money is going.

If it weren't for Red States giving Faux Xiden and Fascist Faucci the Middle Finger and opening their economies, we'd be in a Leftist Death Spiral that The CCP DemNazi Party intended us to be in when they first launched Operation Faux Pandemic.What a bummer.

For the globalists...New World Order to take over, the United States has to go down a few steps. And we have been. All of that social justice with massive spending added on and all of the other things we see is part of the program. When complete, the resources for all will be less. Its a big world with lots of people. Its a small world with many casualties.UE decreased from 60.0 to 5.8.

That is, however, an inaccurate and highly misleading description of those Northern European countries today. … Sanders’s vision of Scandinavian countries, as with much of his ideology, seems to be stuck in the 1960s and 1970s … .
Today’s Denmark, along with other Scandinavian countries, is a competitively free-market-oriented democracy—and as then-Danish Prime Minister Lars Lokke Rasmussen said in 2015, “far from a socialist planned economy.”
In addition to having stayed very open to free trade, among other notable policy measures, Denmark has kept its minimum-wage-free labor market flexible by allowing employers to adjust their workforces rapidly—in both hiring and dismissing—in response to changing market conditions.
That kind of free-market policy mix has earned Denmark an economic-freedom ranking as the eighth-freest country, according to The Heritage Foundation’s recently released 2020 Index of Economic Freedom. The Index cites as reasons for the country’s high resilience and competitiveness its free-market policies, such as a competitive corporate tax rate (which is lower than America’s), regulatory efficiency, market openness, and the rule of law that Denmark has long institutionalized.
Indeed, it isn’t accurate to characterize Denmark as “socialist.” The reality is that Denmark is one of the finest examples of countries committed to the free-enterprise system, which is often reinforced by a well-functioning civil society.
Free-market capitalism is not, of course, a one-size-fits-all, dogmatic system. The very concept of economic freedom suggests that individual countries will find their own unique routes to prosperity and resilience.
Undoubtedly, Denmark offers informative and practical examples of a society trying to balance the role of the government and that of individuals in its own distinctive approach. The Danish case reflects a resilient commitment to economic freedom that is based on a high degree of mutual trust between individuals and government.
It may be quite politically tempting to talk about Denmark as an economic model. However, when it comes to making America more like the highly competitive small Scandinavian economy, as often urged by the democratic socialist Sanders, we should focus on how to emulate its free-market policies that have advanced economic freedom, not big-government socialism.
The fascist Nazi courted the trust of the Arian Nationals and used organized violence and intimidation to force the government to give Hitler absolute authority. They vested all power in one man.
The situation in America now couldn't be more different than Germany in the late 20's and early 30's.
Truth is a little hard for the Delusional and Brainwashed like you to handle.What a goofy rant.This is why we call The Democrat Party The DemNazi Party.The Dems in fact want to do the opposite...they want to grow distrust between the individual and their Govt. Much more akin to what we saw National Socialist due in the 20s and 30s in GermanyThe citizens in these countries are well informed and they know where their money is going. Contrast that with our situation. We have no idea where our money is going, higher math is racist, our kids are being taught to hate based on skin color, the rule of law is breaking down, and millions of people aren't even citizens. Good ole Chuck and Nancy are not creating anything near a Scandinavian Country, but progs don't like it when you tell them what they are really building.Dembots have this failed idea that Denmark is some sort of socialist utopia...it's not: Denmark Is Not a Socialist Economic NirvanaThis is what happens when you pay people not to work, and you rape people who do work. They don't like it when you call it communism, but the funny thing is they believe that these wackos are trying to create Denmark.What a bummer. Sure COVID was Trump's fault, it makes a PROG feel good about stuff. But the unemployment rate consistently dropped from 13.3% to 6.3 on Trump's watch. It inched downward a pinch first few months of Xiden, and then April came and go figure.

Arecent New York Times op-ed observed that “Danes haven’t built a ‘socialist’ country. Just one that works.” A more precise observation would have been that Denmark has built a free-market democracy that works for Danes.
Given the fact that America is a much larger and far more diverse and multifaceted nation than Denmark, comparing the two countries’ economic systems is not always straightforward. For example, the competitive Nordic nation is an economy of 5.6 million people living in an area half the size of South Carolina.
Nonetheless, any meaningful attempt to compare Denmark with America and draw some practical policy implications for the United States should really “mean embracing more flexible labor markets, light regulations and a deeper commitment to free trade,” as noted in a recent Washington Post commentary by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria.
In other words, the comparison and discussion on the two democracies should be really about how to overcome socialism and embrace free-market capitalism.
