[QUOTE=Guest;1273528]Apparently, you didn't read the whole comment. Go back and take a remedial civics class, because you seem to be a bit foggy on your ideology and economic systems. Don't get upset though, because I am not an expert either.

I think that you will agree that it is because of our "socialist" themed programs that we have an ever increasing deficit. One of these days, someone in D.C. is going to suddenly wake up and realize that everyone cannot have an unearned middle class standard of living, by means of gov subsidy. Even with the mandatory payroll taxes going toward Social Security and Medicare the socialized programs can't sustain themselves. Proof of failed policies, regardless of the fault of one party or the other. Socialism is a shortcut to bankruptcy.
