it is important to realize that there are countries around the world like denmark, norway, sweden finland, who have had social democratic governments for many, many years and we can learn a whole lot from some of those countries, for example the united states is the only major country on earth that doesn't guarantee healthcare to all people as a right and if you look at the healthcare systems in those countries, you know what? not only do they cover all those people, much more cost effective than we are. wewe are spending twice as much as they do in terms of education, bob, all of those countries in germany, austria, many other countries you know what they say? they are in at that highly competitive global economy all people, regardless of their income, should be able to get a college education. college education is free in those countries. that makes a lot of sense to me. in terms of childcare, our childcare system today, talking about mother's day is a total disaster. those systems are much better by and large what they do is many of these countries have higher voter turnouts than we do
