Goodness, what a naive person we have here. The particular social
conditions that allow the Swedish system to work do not exist in the US, as
we lack the small, homogenous society of theirs. The huge size and
diversity of this country versus the Netherlands, Denmark, or Sweden makes
for a _considerable_ difference.
To make a long story short, the Swedish model is no more applicable to the
US than the US model is to Sweden.
