Participant[quote=patientrenter]afx, i’m all for the best of both worlds in between solutions. but norway is a special case. massive oil revenues and a small, homogeneous, well-educated population.
norway’s lesson for usa: reduce your population by 95%, and things will be easier for the people left.[/quote]
“Worried that welfare costs are rising as the number of taxpayers declines, state Rep. John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, said he is studying a plan to pay poor women $1,000 to have their Fallopian tubes tied. LaBruzzo said he worries that people receiving government aid such as food stamps and publicly subsidized housing are reproducing at a faster rate than more affluent, better-educated people who presumably pay more tax revenue to the government. He said his program would be voluntary. It could involve tubal ligation, encouraging other forms of birth control or, to avoid charges of gender discrimination, vasectomies for men. It also could include tax incentives for college-educated, higher-income people to have more children, he said.”

Indira Gandhi tried this in the 70’s but without a dictatorship, it doesn’t work too well.
“Meanwhile, the younger of her two sons, Sanjay Gandhi, started to run the country as though it were his personal fiefdom, and earned the fierce hatred of many whom his policies had victimized. He ordered the removal of slum dwellings, and in an attempt to curb India’s growing population, initiated a highly resented program of forced sterilization.”

Participant[quote=flu]
Some americans (most americans I would say) choose to blow it on immediate bullshit. Fancy cars, fancy homes, fancy clothes and jewelry… And often, some who make less income others and those people spend more often end up trying to “keep up with the jones” and spend money they don’t have when they really should be investing in their future. [/quote]Wait, aren’t you the one extolling the virtues of fancy Acuras, BMWs and other 400HP cars? You have a powerful following and not everyone can resist temptation to spend all their money and then some on those beautiful beasts.
You know I jest. Some of the newbies here may not know that the “millionaire next door” lives in middle class neighborhood with the old Taurus/Camry/Accord and spends money on the business and other income producing assets you discussed.

ParticipantWhy is Finland’s socialist school system the best?
Giving 5 year olds 10 hours/day homework not needed.
Their whole system is a magnet school with “honors” students staying in the classroom and helping the “stupid” kids. Wouldn’t work in the USA because there is an extreme lack of honor, discipline, decorum, etc. Imagine, we could solve half the CA budget problem my starting school later…“Finland’s educational success can be attributed to the “unified” school system, which sees children staying at the same school between the ages of seven and 16, rather than having primary and secondary schools. “It’s like ice hockey. We let all the girls and boys play, not only the best ones. With this fair play, we can give everyone the same chance to practise their skills – and this also gives us the way to find the best ones.”
Finland’s education system, when compared to the UK, is also different in the later age at which pupils enter schools. While pupils in the UK enter formal schooling at five, in Finland children enter school at seven – and then only for half days. They also have longer holidays than in the UK, including a 10-week break in the summer.
This places greater responsibility on families – and Ms Haatainen says that an important ingredient in Finland’s high achievement in reading and writing is a strong culture of reading in the home. Parents nurture a love of reading among children and this is supported by a network of public libraries, says the minister.
In the last international education league tables, produced by the OECD, Finland’s 15 year olds were judged to have the highest standards of literacy in the world.
Ms Haatainen also says that the country has made a conscious effort to have highly-qualified teachers throughout the school system”[teaching is honored in Finland as much as a Ferrari driving executive is honored in the USA].
