It goes back to Calvin Coolidge who opined: He governs best who governs least.

No.  From what I can tell, Sweden is nearly indistinguishable from the US system, which calls itself capitalism (but really isn’t.)  Henrik, does Sweden benefit from yankee-developed medications and therapies?

 

If you meant France rather than Sweden, very well, do let us stand by and watch.  The problems in France are similar to the USA: they pretended that government debt doesn’t matter.  If so, the French government could solve all their problems and end the riots by borrowing more and spending more.  So why aren’t they doing it?  It is because government debt matters there?  If it matters there, it matters here.
