It seems like a political problem, like most of Europe&#x27;s problems. People just aren&#x27;t choosing to work on obvious solutions to the problems, like a coordinated EU-wide refugee program. There is no question Denmark (and others) can afford the refugees, and the refugees certainly are not going to threaten the national security of any nation.<p>As in the US, the problem is politics. Climate change, health care, judges, and most of the rest of the issues have obvious solutions, it&#x27;s just that some politicians currently refuse to participate on the grounds that other Americans also get a say in what happens (it is a democracy, after all). Unless they get their way 100%, undemocratically imposing their will on the rest of the country, no matter what their fellow citizens vote for, they won&#x27;t act.
