Well, at least you’ve got something in common. That, is, unless you think 1.9% is “high unemployment”.
YEs, but it’s also the permanence of Denark’s unemployment rate that bothers Rand Rover . Can you imagine the enduring effects of a persistently spirit-crushing rate of unemployment like Denark’s?

. . . Which is one of the down-sides of large government entitlement programs. They breed dependence on the government, which breeds more programs and increased funding for existing programs. Eventually you end up with a country like Denark or France with high permanent unemploynent, a stagnant economy, an capable people leaving the country in droves, further exacerbating the lackluster economy. But hey, as long as you get free health care, none of this stuff seems to bother you. Which shows that you are blindly ideological and do not care about the facts.
Everything I’ve read indicates that, on average, the Danes are the happiest people in the world.
