Is bailing out our banks "socialism"....is the paying of farmers "socialism"....having PUBLIC services paid with taxes..is that "socialism"
YOU are being fed a lot of garbage....you certainly can object to "socialism"...that is your right......CANADA.....Socialism in Canada has a long history and is, along with conservatism and liberalism, a political force in Canada. Those rotten Canadians.
Our country has a constitution, and laws that basically will not allow a move so far as to deem it socialism.
Please know the definition before throwing things around that you do not even understand. Attacks on our constitution and laws are closer to "socialism" than anything you mention.
A health plan partially subsidized might work, but if you are going to be told that it is extreme, then you just do not understand.
We have two bodies of congress that are supposed to talk to each other......we also have lobby groups that spend more money in lobbying than you can even imagine. Gun laws...bill passed, not discussed ...still awaiting any talk.
Rembmer "E PLURIBUS UNUM".....One of many. That applies to our people as well as ideas.
Would it not be nice to have those folks elected to talk to each other and work out compromises ? BUT, we are always talking in such generalities..we label folks in such a general way blacks, whites etc without even knowing much about any of it...then we blame the other side for doing it. AN IDEA......lets try and discuss ISSUES without the labels and accusations.....it USED to work.

"Rembmer "E PLURIBUS UNUM".....One of many. That applies to our people as well as ideas."
"E PLURIBUS UNUM" actually means "one from many", or "out of many, one",
not "one of many". Picky I know but.....................a difference in meaning.
