Has the US been a socialist country during large parts of the last century?

[Copycon]

I'm interested about your thoughts on the US welfare and tax policies during the 20th century. If you look at the taxes during the 50's and 60's the US probably had higher taxes than Sweden had back then, but did people accuse the presidents of being 'over the top communists'? What are your thoughts on 'New Deal', 'The Great Society' and the other ('socialistic') reforms done during the 20th century?
