9 reasons Denmark's government/economy is better than the US's

[JimBowie1958]

There are many reasons for the increase in disability claims, most notably the recession, an aging population, advances in medical technology and a decade of war.

The recession: The economic downturn in 2008 and early 2009 is thought to be the major reason for the jump in disability payments to people who were formerly working.

"With every recession, we see a rise in the number of applicants," said Andrew Houtenville, an economics professor at the University of New Hampshire's Institute on Disability. "People are looking for options in terms of income support."

Disability claims skyrocket: Here's why

Wow, you got it exactly right.

Aging Baby Boomers coincide with a bad economy and is probably causally linked. Baby Boomers planning and saving for retirement are obviously a drag on the economy.

I herniated my T7-T8 disc in August of 2013. My doctor then put me on disability.

I had a car accident in 2014, and that herniated my L4-L5 disc, and later in May of 2016 my doctor inexplicably took me off disability even though my condition was WORSE than when he put me on disability, not better.

This idea that people are faking back injuries more in the recession due to greed is horseshit. People have always dont that, but the aging population is the primary cause for the rising number of disability claims, not fakery.

BTW, my insurance denied my medical claim based on a plainly incompetent IME report. These insurance companies are trying to stay in business by hosing their paying customers at every opportunity.

People starve in America ?

Yes, some people in America do not know if or when they will get their next meal. Show nuff, bubba.

But they do get one ? Right ?

Eventually, I would guess, but not always. There are many parents who commit suicide in order to get insurance to feed their family. Does that count as getting their next meal?

What the fuck is wrong with you people? You think that living a life where you don t know when you are going to eat again is just AOK?

Please document the suicide cases.

And I don't recall saying that was a good thing.

In fact, I think I've been an advocate for an intelligent approach to income inequality.

But from what I can tell, your implied claim that people are starving looking for a job is total crap.

How are casinos not private enterprises?

They are all controlled by the Indian government, which in turn is controlled by the federal government. The rotten living conditions and standard life on the moon reservations are all due to socialism...

Sorry but if casinos are allowed to exist, I don't see why there couldn't be manufacturing or agriculture. And at least some co-ops for food, clothing, whatever so the money stays in the local economy.

Because those things require somone getting off his ass and making them happen. In a socialist society there is no incentive for anyone to get off his ass and make things happen.

That might be the case if socialism provided a luxurious quality of life. Apparently however, the conditions on the reservation are horrendous which according to capitalist ideology should provide the motivation to get off their asses.

Socialism provides a minimal level of subsistence with enormous penalties for success.

Ever been anywhere that it's used to supplement the shitiness of capitalism? Most Americans become very depressed when they've been to these places and return home.

Some people in America die from scurvy. Doesnt mean it's a big problem though.

 

[The Rabbi]

Yes I see those job searchers lying in the gutter starving to death every day on my way towork.
Dumbshit.

You think that ALL people looking for work are like that?

You stupid ass comments like that do your argument no good. They only show what a heartless fuck head you are.

I think NO people looking for work are like that. IOW I think your post is bullshit.

Lol, you are more confused than I thought.

People looking for work are fucking tired of ass holes like you telling them that they are not doing it right and are lazy fucks for not having a job.

I am personally ready for lynching every Wall Street banker and CEO from the lamp posts for their robbery of this country while the people suffer.

And that is no fucking joke, retard.

I am tired of assholes like you blaming successful people for your lack of success. The real reason people cant find jobs is because Democrats have ru this country for 8 years, putting in crappy policies that have discouraged the very people you want to lynch from creating jobs.

There is no shittiness in capitalism. I've been places where socialism is the dominant system. And yes they are depressing shitholes.

Ok, there's that black and white mentality that seems to exist in all conservatives. Pure capitalism is a stark system that happens to work well for a few. If you are lucky enough to be one of the few, it looks awesome. If you know what adversity feels like - even if you've escaped it - you can see it warts and all.

Like JimBowie has said, we are approaching a time when jobs will be scarce as hell. We can either transition to a system that works well for everybody or we can prepare for a genuine, violent revolution.

BTW, where are these places where socialism is the dominant system? Pre-1999 China?

 

[Markle]

It can't work over here, you are comparing apples to oranges. Millions of people would perish from such a socialist backwards system...

Lol, yeah, sure because we dont have the Magic Formula Denmark uses?

roflmao


It is entirely doable here as well.

What are you so afraid of?

Doable here?


Lmao and how are you going to get the votes?

Can we keep doing what we are? Debt growing. Inequality growing. Wages stagnant. Slow economy.

Lame Duck and far left Progressive President Barack Hussein Obama is running the show. If anyone wants more of the same, as you enumerate, vote for Crooked Hillary Clinton.

We can add capitalism to the long list of things you know nothing about.
Most of western Europe is dominated by socialism. This is why their economices suck.

14 people live in Denmark.

Who cares?

They're more capitalistic than socialistic. Yet they don't allow parasitic industries to flourish and as a result, they're less stressful to live in and the quality of life is better.

 

[Markle]

That doesn't make sense, it would work better in a bigger economy.

Check on that with Greece as well as Venezuela.

Yeah Greece made the mistake of trying to bail out failed bankers and is paying that price, unlike the Nordic Socialist nations who stuck it to the banks instead and are doing quite well now, having practiced more capitalism than the capitalists have done.

Read up on how Iceland handled the financial crash genius - that is what we could have done too had we more control over our economy.

Iceland...? Really? Population: 327,589 (2014) You just can't make these things up!

Leon COUNTY Florida Population: 283,988 (2014)

That is what keeps you from learning from something that was handled well?

Depends on what you consider "handled well" means. You consider your life being handled well as the government handling all your decisions along with your being unable to take advantage of all the time you demand to be compensated for but not being at work. Free time and no worries, compliments of others working.

[easyt65]

#1 Should be: Don't have Obama as leader / President

- Slowest recovery since the Great Depression

- 1st President ever not to have 3% growth

-Set US Records for 'monthly', 'anual', & 'total' feficit-spending

- Added nearly $7 trillion in new debt in only 4 years

- Secured 1st-ever US Credit Rating down-grade

- Burdening nation's economy by facilitating / bringing in millions of illegals who get tax payer-funded free health care, welfare, food stamps, etc...

What "INDUSTRIES" does a country, half the size of New York City have? The largest corporation in Denmark is Maersk with fewer than 90,000 employees. New York CITY has 470,600 MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES.
