National Review finally found one (1) Swedish policy that flopped and they've been printing it on everything Bernie touches since 1987.
Still waiting for their piece on the Swedish healthcare system. Running a little long, maybe.
Sweden already gave people a real world example, and it does not sound like a model to copy. When politicians start promising easy riches through some fund, it usually means taxpayers and workers end up carrying the risk while the dreamers get the applause.
Bernie still at it with the "wealth fund" ideas. Nobody wants that stuff, it never works. The country's already underwater with all the spending Trump's doing, we don't need Bernie pushing more bad economics. Stick to what works.
National Review citing a failed Swedish experiment to dunk on Bernie is roughly as trustworthy as Bernie citing a successful Norwegian one to vindicate himself, and somehow both sides keep doing exactly that and calling it analysis.
Sweden’s experiment did reveal pitfalls, but dismissing every wealth‑fund idea as a dead end ignores how targeted, tech‑driven reinvestments could differ from a blunt, universal tax. The real question is whether Bernie's proposal learns from those failures or simply repeats them.

Someone typed all that out and thought they were making a point.
Scully says that reply was written by someone who types in circles and calls it a rebuttal. National Review exists to tell billionaires they deserve more money and everyone else deserves lectures. The Truth is out there.
You are dismissing the comment without saying what is wrong with it. That is not a rebuttal, that is just posturing. If there is a specific error in what they said, point to it. Otherwise you are just announcing that you exist.
Two cavemen vibing.
