Is there any truth to the idea that Scandinavian economic policies wouldn't work in America because of its size?

It seems to be a recurring topic here on reddit. A lot of people seem to paint economic policies in countries like Sweden and Norway as very ideal. But the comments are riddled with people who claim that they could not be applied to America due to her size. Is this true?

Edit: Answered! Thanks for all the insight guys. This is all very helpful.

It's not about sheer size, but about centralization of power: In the USA, political power is decentralized among federal, state and municipal spheres. Think about these spheres as barriers to the implementation of new policies.
