^this.
I'll probably be drawing a lot of parallels to Norway in these kinds of discussions. It's not because I mean to be an egocentric twit, but because it fits very well with the kind of politics Barack Obama is trying to approach.
Norway is largely a socialist state. If you're by this point thinking "communism", you're either uneducated, or brainwashed (or both). We have free healthcare, free retirement homes, and a system very much based on mutual welfare. The only notable expense is
taxes, something most Americans seem to have a severe allergy against, but with the huge portion of the budget the Bush government threw into military business, there ought to be quite a lot of grub to get from there.
