Scandinavian countries also happen to feature prominently in the list of the most expensive countries to live in and I don't think that in the long run it is sustainable - just ask the Greeks.

Someone has to pay dearly for all these extravagant social programs.

Yes, and in Scandinavia we do. In Greece they didn't, hence the problem.
