Hmmm...lets see....people want to talk about socialism and the ills it will bring.
We have a over 40 million collecting unemployment which means 15% of the country is not able to afford healthcare which is just terrible. The jobs come and go like winter wheat and the lobbyists try to keep the minimum wage down so the companies can enjoy their ever increasing profits. We have a central bank in a capitalist nation that was built not to have one. We have a dollar that has been diluted for almost a full century. We no longer have a AAA credit rating. Our public education system is funded but poorly managed. We had a housing bubble because for nearly forty years public and private banks gave out loans to individuals who could not pay them back under order of the President Carter. Our treasury is owned by the Asians (I use Asians loosely because its not just the Chinese). Detroit needs to be bailed out....yes...a very socialist thing to do...a federal bailout, kind of like the socialist bailout we did for the banks and automotive companies in 2008.
Yeah... if we don't go semi-socialist....
The camels back will be broken.
The way things are going it's either mend it with socialist ideals until a remedy can be found or allow the corporations to figure out a fascist solution themselves. This is what lobbyists are for.
