Yesterday, I talked about why socialism isn't the best thing for the US because of the cultural diversity we have here. Today I will bring my second point, being that we are just HUGE.
Size
The US has over 300,000,000 people. If Norway were a state its population of 5,000,000 people would be ranked 23rd, right after Colorado and before Alabama.
Anyone who has worked for large and small organizations will know that the dollar for dollar efficiency drops the bigger an organization gets. The bigger a system the harder it is to get it to run well. It's just a fact. It gets harder to manage things. It becomes more complex.
So for the US to do anything on a national scale, it is going to be SOOOO much more complicated than it would be for Norway to implement it. Even if it were a linear function based on size it would be more than 60 times more complicated.
Conclusion
All that being said, socialism isn't inherently evil. But practically, you can't equate a small, culturally homogeneous country like Norway and the massive, culturally spastic hulk that is the US. Some programs can work as long as they are limited in scope and simple in execution, but state run candy distribution is a definite no.
