"Krugman: How American Capitalism Fails—and Northern European 'Socialism' Succeeds—at Job Creation"

Krugman How American Capitalism Fails and Northern European Socialism Succeeds at Job Creation Alternet

"Paul Krugman wrote his column this morning in the New York Times from Europe, a place which—conservatives like Paul Ryan would like you to believe—demonstrates the complete failure of the welfare state. That's because, as Krugman points out, "Our political discourse is dominated by reverse Robin-Hoodism — the belief that economic success depends on being nice to the rich, who won’t create jobs if they are heavily taxed, and nasty to ordinary workers, who won’t accept jobs unless they have no alternative."

France, a country that the American media and conservatives particularly love to bash, is having particular success in employment rates. Krugman reports this "startling, little-known fact: French adults in their prime working years (25 to 54) are substantially more likely to have jobs than their U.S. counterparts."

Hmmm. There's a story you won't hear told in the mainstream media."

Yes, France has subsidized jobs for middle aged people at the expense of jobs for younger people. The overall UE rate for France is 10.2%. How's that job creation going?

Rabbi works for the Post Office, so your assumption that he doesn't have a job is another colossal fail on your part. Say, since you're posting on this forum, you must not have a job, right?

Krugman's problem is that he is a proven liar... not to mention he's an extremist.

Nope.
The Nordic model (or Nordic capitalism[1] or Nordic social democracy)[2][3] refers to the economic and social models of the Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Faroe Islands and Sweden), which involves the combination of a free market economy with a welfare state.[4]

Which, of course, do most economies, including our own.

The free market and the welfare state are mutually exclusive. It only works, half-assed, in the Nordic countries because they don't have large minorities with social pathologies like blacks and Hispanics. Furthermore, the unemployment rate in these countries is higher than ours.

These statements are contradictory. On the other hand, those who ignore social/demographic differences between countries are self-delusional.
