That is pretty interesting to be sure, however, I doubt we could pull it off. the US plays a vastly different role in the world compared to Norway.

to put it in perspective,

Norway population: 4.9 mil
New York population: 8.3 mil

our largest CITY is almost double the population of their whole country. Size matters in these things. Their model would not work here in the United States there is no one size fits all.

Culture, Population, Land Mass, History, Religions all play a role.

However, Defense spending should be that large. Our federal Government has very little powers granted to it by the constitution but that has been abused over the decades.

I am a Constitutionalist in my opinion and I personally think SS and medicare can go the way of the dodo. it is just more money our federal government has no right to take and give.
