This is the point I am making: the extra amount you pay because of your government regulations on just about everything is not worth the benefits you get

...But...How can you make that comparison if you know nothing about Sweden...

Seriously, if you didn't know the fact that rates were low here, which was even covered extensively in the US media (WSJ/Bloomberg/CNBC) for years now, then you just never looked at any of this for more than five minutes.

There are legitimate criticisms. You just don't know any of them because you've never looked at it.

I have to interpret economic data every single day. "I know nothing on the subject you're an expert on, but let me tell you why you're wrong".
