why do I get the impression that some people on this list forget that Debian is an international project ....?AFAIK, many European countries have been doing that for some time now. Their citizens have a relatively high purchasing power, yet they still have relatively successful and extensive social programs.The ideology that there must be something wrong with you if you don't make enough money to, not only feed yourself and your family, but also purchase a large house on a large tract of land and at least two cars is almost exclusively American. Of course, like most things American, it's been spreading like a pleague. Not to say that Europe is a utopian society and the US should emulate it to the farthest extent possible, but the current trend of being as exactly oposite as possible is counter-productive, IMHO. There definitely are some things to be learned from the European model.
This whole thread seems to be treating the rest of the world like some distant scenery.
and BTW Europe is made up of lots of countries, there is more than one model !
