And they will last better than most as they educate everyone. Denmark does not educate everyone for free Koan, like you imply and misrepresent. studyindenmark.dk Higher education in Denmark is free for students from the EU/EEA and for students participating in an exchange programme. For other students annual tuition range from 6,000 to 16,000 Euro. A number of scholarships and grants are available from the institutions and from public funded schemes

Denmark's welfare state is already failing and I posted the reasons why. You have never explained why the Danes can have school choice, but Americans can't.

Liberal Ideology Failing in Denmark As They Tighten Generous Jobless Benefits... As extended unemployment swells almost everywhere across the advanced industrial world, that question is turning into a lightning rod for governments. For years, Denmark was held out as a model to countries with high unemployment and as a progressive touchstone to liberals in the United States. The Danes, despite their lavish social welfare state, managed to keep joblessness remarkably low. But now Denmark, which allows employers to hire and fire at will while relying on an elaborate system of training, subsidies for those between jobs and aggressive measures to press the unemployed into available openings, is facing its own strains. As a result, it is beginning to tighten up. Struggling to keep its budget under control after the financial crisis, the government in June cut into its benefits system, the world's most generous, by limiting unemployment payments to two years instead of four. Having found that recipients either get work right away or take any job as their checks run out, officials are also redoubling longstanding efforts to move Danes more quickly out of the safety net.
