Measuring politics in one dimension is epic fail from the get-go.
Its laughable that you think that the U.S. is anywhere close to European counties in socialism. We don't even pay for all our college students tuition.

In America, unlike Europe, a higher percentage of people are able to attend university. University can be more heavily subsidized as a result when you deny more people admission.

My cousin's child in Europe pays for a large part of her own tuition, including other associated expenses and she's quite the scholar. In fact, my mom regularly sends them money to cover expenses. I don't know what you're talking about. I think you heard from someone the blanket term "it's free" and bought it hook, line and sinker.

How come we have a more socialized mortgage and K-12 schooling industry than Europe? How come Sweden has private school vouchers up the wazoo?

A Central European country. Ironically one that was socialist until 1989. Since you said Europe, you don't get to cherry pick Denmark, France, England etc.

Are you ok with about 75% of minorities being denied college acceptance to make it "free"?

Since you can't tell me the country I now believe you just made that story up. Yes I do get to cherry pick. Why would you compare the U.S. to Bosnia?

Your the one that can't answer a question or back up your statements. Also Venezuela has never been officially socialist.
