Everyone always uses Iceland as their example. You know if we only have a few hundred thousand people you would be AMAZED at the changes we could make. But we don't. We have a few hundred million people instead.
Hey I hate the federal govt. But enacting change among 400 million people is a lot harder than enacting change with 300 thousand. I don't mean monitarily. I mean just in general.

I really hate this weak and common rebuttal to Iceland or any other system that works.
The United States Federal Government is a disgrace to its people and so are the Banks.
It has nothing to do with scale-ability and everything to do with ethics.
