Germany is a complex and rather unique blend between both systems, and frankly wasn&#x27;t really that diverse until rather recently with Merkel&#x27;s high-volume immigration policies.<p>The US has a plenty of &quot;safety-net socialism&quot; as well, so I&#x27;m not sure of your point you are making about CA..a country that almost doubles its national debt ($12t to $20t) in only 8 years is surely doing its best to provide for its people, no?<p>For how many generations is that possible before the country bankrupts itself?
