I love the total lack of understanding of economies of scale.  According to the World Factbook, Norway is slightly larger than the state of New Mexico, and for that matter, the UK ~ Oregon.  When will you folks wake up and start to realize that a nation of more than 310 million cannot (successfull) produce the commensurate (sic) services as a country with a population topping out at 5 million.  It is a recipe for disaster![/quote]

Why not? Economy of scale should provide an advantage.

HA!  I was just about to reply to my own message.  My point is this, and it's a total generalization which I apologize for.  But I realized this as I was visiting relatives and was handed a local GOP flier.  The bottom line generally is Republicans don't/won't/SHOULDN'T promise services that aren't sustainable, Democrats by and large typically do the reverse. Rather than reform them or god forbid break the promise for the greater good of fixing them for the next generation, they often times demonize the other side for taking away this or that.  It doesn't get us very far IMHO.

This is probably also suitable for the other thread on what you dislike about your party.

To answer your question, I am not an economist, but I think it's been proven that many of our services do not meet their customer's expectations.  Take the VA for example, one of the biggest problems is those wanting to get in vs. those already in. My understanding is those in it, are satisfied, it's those waiting to get into the system.  We have approximetaly (sic) 25 million veterans, and still cannot meet those needs.  How can we expand or broaden services with that track record? [/quote]
