USA does not have an oil fund that amounts do $150k per capita to pay for "free everything" (university education, universal health care, childcare) and good pensions for everybody. Norway generates more revenue with oil than the entires US of A, for 5 million people, and is third worldwide exporter for Natural Gas just behind Qatar and Russia, again with only 5 million people to serve (less than the population of New York)

The policies you enjoy are paid for by those revenue, and are not applicable to "regular" countries.

I admit tho that your politician did a good job at ensuring that those revenue are used for the good of the general population and are managed with the future in mind.
