We have always been Socialist and a little Capitalist, just more Socialist today: We have Welfare, Social Security, free Heath care to anyone who shows up at an emergency room. We even have social programs for Illegal Immigrants! How are we not Socialist?
Maybe there is no interest in sticking with the well accepted definitions of these terms. Seems the case when reading most of the last comments here...
The United States is not socialist, far from it. Maybe this will help...
Boy, include programs to help mitigate some of the challenges that a free market system, capitalism, can deal to the poor and disadvantaged, and some people think we've gone communist! Think again, because if many of these programs were not long in place, who knows what sort of disaster system the riots would bring us...
I have a full-time job--don't really have time to do your homework.
The Reagan-era HUD didn't tell Fannie and Freddie that 50% of the trillions of dollars in mortgages they bought had to be made to those with below average income, with no or compromised credit, or both. Simple as that.
Insufficient income, no or bad credit, and only 3% down payment. What could possibly go wrong with that?
The left won with the help of progressive on the right. The RINOs won't enforce immigration law, build the fence, end birth right citizenship for non-citizens and illegals, mandate E-verify and reduce immigration visa etc either even when they hold a majority and it's what the public wants.
Exactly, and that's why career politicians are doing so badly in the Republican run-up to the primaries, and Trump and Carson are doing so well. Republican voters have no problem cleaning house when they've been double-crossed. Career politicians are OUT.
Sure wish Democratic Party voters would do the same, but their front- runners are career politicians. How sad...
Don't worry... We call Moose and Squirrel to foil their evil plots.
if they wont help, get underdog!!
