The Netherlands has a social welfare system and it's economy is not collapsing. However the Dutch government doesn't have an ideological fascination with factories. It has a more rational approach to make money with things that the Netherlands is actually good at. I think what compounds it is that in the US dead weight States still have political power- when realistically all the bets should be on California,Texas and New York and the rest of the country should be grateful.
