US National debt - $8.5 trillion - that's $8,500,000,000,000 - and rising fast
about $28,000/person
Norway national surplus $210 billion
Canada national debt $500 billion and falling
about $15,600/person
Yes, Canada's medical costs are rising, but at $2535/capita it is barely half that of the US at $4631/capita, and by most measures, Canadians are healthier than Americans. Bang for the buck.
And I (and pretty much any Canadian) can go to the doctor whenever I need to without worrying if it's going to affect my insurance rates.
US population too big? Oh boo hoo. I thought there was strength in numbers? Everything else about the US screams bigger is better. If you weren't spending so much on foreign excursions, there might be more money to handle things at home better.
