7 Charts Show the Socialist Hellscape America Would Be Under Bernie Sanders

[hootinholler]

So, if anyone mentions it, Bernie wants us to join the Scandinavian Hellscape.

At the link are 7 charts that demonstrate unequivocally the torturous economy and fountain of crime that Scandinavian Democratic Socialist countries are.

IMHO worth clicking on

[Octafish]

1. Sweden U sounds great.

[hootinholler]

3. That's per year

Unless I'm mistaken. Puts a Masters at about $150K, albeit a State school is about $45K.

Funny, Norway looks at it as an investment in their country's future.

[Octafish]

6. Stupid communists.

Don't they know that college is a profit center? Invest in the Harvard/Yale/Couldn't-cut-it-in-Texas substandard:

"History?" the pretzeldent, himself a History major, said. "We don't know. We'll all be dead."

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. oh my

That truly sounds horrible!!!!!

(I kid, I kid)

[NRaleighLiberal]

4. how could we possibly survive such unabashed joy?

[hootinholler]

8. Maybe by munching a really good BLT?

Ya got me.

[woo me with science]

5. Huge K&R

[whatchamacallit]

7. Americans support a shit quality of life for the statistically minute opportunity to become wealthy n/t

[Maedhros]

9. When posters on DU ridicule the "far left",

this is what they are mocking.

Doesn't make much sense, does it?

[MaggieD]

18. No, that's not what they are mocking

[Ken Burch]

10. "Hellscape" sounds like the name of a Nordic death-metal band.

(especially if you added umlauts over all the vowels)

Will they play at Bernie's inaugural gala?

[Art_from_Ark]

15. Hëllscäpë

or maybe Hëllscåpë. Or even Hëllscøpë. I like it

[jtuck004]

11. Thank you. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

12. I am going to start a gofundme...

That I wish you all to donate to. It will finance my emigration to Scandinavia. I will periodically report back the true hellishness of it all

[hootinholler]

16. I wish I had thought of that n/t

[Spitfire of ATJ]

13. Yeah,....but OUR rich are richer than THEIR rich.

[BrotherIvan]

14. racist and sexist

trickle down white and male ya

[hifiguy]

25. I see what you did there, sir.

[madokie]

17. Thanks

we all should be sending this link to everyone we know

Anyone can call me a commie pinko bastard if they want to but I do think the government is better at a lot of services than the private sector is as these charts show. We don't have to be so mean! When I type 'we' I mean the congress critters and reightwingers

[MaggieD]

19. Here's reality

Not a single one of those things would change if Bernie were elected president.

[hootinholler]

20. Depends on the coat-tails

Entirely.

[MaggieD]

22. The house is gerrymandered

There are no coattails.

[Octafish]

21. If that's the reality, why bother voting?

Don't you hope things will change?

Do you think President Hillary Clinton would change things or would things stay the same, as well?

[MaggieD]

23. I prefer to be realistic about change

There are plenty of things we can change, but it's naive to think that list includes any of them. The US is not going to magically become a socialist nation in our lifetime if ever.

[woo me with science]

24. kick

[hifiguy]

26. The Scandinavian countries are at the top of

virtually every measure of quality of life.

But no real 'murkan needs to learn nuthin' from those damn Yurrupeens.

[cascadiance]

27. And Americans think our wealth divide (and want it even more equal) than what Sweden is...

... as shown by the perceptions reflected in the polls in this study that have been engineered upon us by corporate media.

Yep! I'd much rather have Sweden's "socialist" wealth "hell" than ours any day!

[hootinholler]

28. Nice charts. n/t

[bobthedrummer]

29. "Socialist Hellscape"- lol Milwaukee had 4 Socialist mayoral administrations--k&r n/t
