I'm not saying the US shouldn't experiment with such approaches, it's my dearest wish that my country take advantage of Federalism and experiment at the state level more.
We shouldn't pretend we can appropriate every policy or approach every other country uses in a totally different context.

Translated into from dog-whistle into English, this means "a strong bloc of white Americans will not pay for social services, safety nets, or anything else if there is a risk that black people could benefit." Just so we're entirely clear on the dynamic we're talking about.
