I just returned from visiting.

Here is what I observed:

We did not see a single homeless person or panhandler on the street. Not one.

I asked several people what they thought were the most significant social problems facing Sweden and they were scratching their heads to answer. Some mentioned that newcomers were struggling to become integrated into Swedish society.

Everyone seemed to love their health care system.

Workers have a right not to be terminated from their jobs without just cause!

The architecture seems interesting and the natural beauty relatively unspoiled.

Men and women have liberal paid parental leave benefits.

The country seems prosperous and the people happy. People did not even complain about their taxes!

We could learn a lot from Sweden.
