So let me get this straight.
America supposedly the greatest country in the world currently has an unemployment rate of 9.2%(http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=usunemployment&met=unemployment_rate&tdim=true&dl=en&hl=en&q=us+unemployment+rate), while that "totalitarian" socialist state of Norway has an unemployment rate of 3.2%(http://www.google.com/publicdata?ds=z9a8a3sje0h8ii_&met=unemployment_rate&idim=eu_country:NO&dl=en&hl=en&q=norway+unemployment+rate) So is time to admit that our system is a terrible failure?

...just polish the brass knobs at the Great Palace of Socialism, ya know, like twice a week with 12 weeks of vacation.

2. "totalitarian" state? Last time I checked they were a constitutional democracy!
I know you probably know that, but I just wanted to clear things up for those who might not know (and why are they on DU anyway?).
