    The question is how accurate the measure is, and who is doing the measuring of policy.

    Measure, but whether the effects are beneficial is in the eye of the beholder most of the time.

    Now you're just being argumentative. Good policy is easy to distinguish from bad policy.

    Its a debate. It is argumentative by nature.
    And 'good' and 'bad' are wholly relative.

    America needs to step up its healthcare reforms.

    It might be tax return season, but who is going to save that money for just in case?

    I've been wondering, (now this a topic: But should we privatize social security?)

    Next yeah America does need to step up its healthcare reforms.

    Tottaly irrelevant, but Brazil has a Socialist ruling party since 2002, but I still have to hear an American calling us socialists/communists. =P

    It just occured to me that Imperial1917 has no sense of humour at all.

    So, the Netherlands isn't social democrat at all. We have a populist right-winged party (under Geert Wilders) in power, and they are fucking up pretty bad.

    We're currently not ruled by social democrats or socialists at the moment. Like most other EU/European countries now. But wasn't the free healthcare introduced in most western European countries by post-war social democratic governments?
