Finnish government collapses...why it matters
By Mike Huckabee

Don’t look now – seriously, the media really don’t want you to look – but Finland, the “Democratic” Socialists’ most favored nation, their example of the country America should emulate, just saw its government collapse and its Prime Minister and Cabinet resign due to the unsustainable costs of universal health care. This happened last week. Did you hear about it in the news? Didn’t think so.
This comes less than a year after Finland killed its experiment with a “universal basic income,” replacing it with mandatory job training and work requirements for people on government benefits.

There’s more at the link, along with a few ironic tweets from Bernie Sanders, lavishing praise on Finland. In one, he demands, “If Finland can provide everyone with health care, send everyone to college for free and provide affordable child care, why can’t the US?”

Well, Finland can’t. Neither can you, Bernie.

Incidentally, I just checked Bernie’s two Twitter feeds, for Senator and Presidential candidate. As expected, there was a lot of ranting against billionaires and millionaires (he is one of the latter, by the way, and somehow became one while he was a socialist “public servant,” as so many socialist public servants do), and about completing his mission to transform America with a lot of big government handout programs.

But strangely, not a word about the collapse of the government of Finland due to the exact policies he’s espousing. In fact, I scrolled all the way back to last week, and the word “Finland” never appeared – even though that’s obviously what he wants to transform America into. But at least he can take solace in knowing that with people like him in Congress, he’s already made a lot of headway in turning the US into a place where the cost of government is unsustainable.

Most adults with half a brain knows that solicialism does not work. Bernie and other socialist politicians also know it. However, they also know that the masses are all looking for big rock candy mountain and will believe almost anything.

I am going to be rude here, so if it offends you, read no further.
Bernie Sanders is a two-faced lying politician. He claims to be a socialist working for the people yet he is a millionaire. A lair he is and a bigger fool to try to dupe the American Public into believing that socialism is great. But if the lambs being led to slaughter wake up and look around them, read the new and see which socialist countries are collapsing, then they wouldn't be being sold a bill of goods.
Bigger government equals bigger problems and less services for the people and higher costs of living.
Unsustainable isn't the word I would use here. It would be untenable.
