Why I'm Moving to Norway

from the Houston Chronicle:

Norway's government has saved so much money it doesn't know what to do with it all.

The Scandinavian nation's sovereign wealth fund topped $1 trillion this week, or about $191,000 per citizen. The U.S. Congress, meanwhile, has authorized the government to incur more than $19 trillion in debt, putting every American taxpayer in hock for $165,000.

Norway's socialist system has the largest savings account in the world, built from scratch in 1998 from oil and natural gas revenues. The fund now throws off more money from its investments than the country earns from energy.  

In Norway they’ve got enough dough

To laugh at the ice and the snow;

Each citizen can

Take off for Thailand

Whenever the winter winds blow.
