Today, let it be a good day

Great day for america! Eh, Irony. I see in the news the political game that is going on. The government of US is very special. The president has not the power but the house of parliament does? The US had a shutdown in 1995 too, during Bill Clinton rule. Shutdown, I believe would never occur in Sweden. We have a different system. The budget has gone through some debate of course but no disagreement in the Riksdagen would get the Swedish government to shut down.
   Of course we have high tax that every citizen dutifully pays in to the government through the "moms" that is on every item we buy. It´s a good thing to have tax because the money goes to hospital, social services, school, police, government. And then theres the one krona that goes to the king of Sweden aswell, he tends to the history of the old country.
   It seems that most of the countries in the world has money debts, taking loans to pay for this and that. And luckily the most money are just numbers on a datascreen. If the money was printed out there would soon be shortage of cotton or trees or whatever money are made of. The solution for future society seem to be fleemarkets, garagesales, trading things person to person, visit the farm to buy milk and cheese by trading a shirt or knitted hat. (In China there is a rule to not build below 37 stories high buildings becoz of the increasing population. I wonder how they would get to the farm on daily basis, countryside or forest when its so many people crammed into one spot?)

   I'm wondering where the grass is greener?
