The list of countries that call themselves Socialists or controlled by Socialists. Wonderfully Democratic places, all of them But the 28 yo Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez knows better because she sat through those Leftist classes

No. They read what one could call "alternative history." To get an idea of where that leads, watch the museum scene in Idiocracy:

There are no doctors on welfare. Why the hyperbole? Why not discuss something factually and honestly?

Trump is preaching socialism. Tariffs and bail outs are socialist programs.

The fact is that insurance companies and the government make HUGE profits on health care. If neither were involved, rates would probably be low enough for most things to be paid for out of earnings like we pay for everything else.

If you don't believe me, look up some of the doctors who treat patients for cash only and check out their rates. Or better yet, ask your doctor next time how much some of the routine procedures would cost if you were to just pay for them yourself. The difference is pretty stunning.

Politico article from today .


Down Goes Socialism
The Ocasio-Cortez wing of the Democratic Party thinks its policies are the path to victory in red states. Tuesday night’s results suggest otherwise.

Another one .

Bernie and his army are losing 2018
Sanders missed the boat on Ocasio-Cortez, then watched his endorsed candidates fall on Tuesday — a sign that his sway is limited heading into 2020.

So, no tariffs on either side of the trade and no bailouts.

Simple.

Now get your government to do that. Easier said than done.
