Just so you know, it's the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics' and Cuba's socialism (equal distribution of misery) that we are against.

Yes, I'm sure that the democrats were the ones that opened the floodgates.

Does the expression The war on Poverty mean anything to you? You know, The Great Society? How about the VietNam war?
President Johnson started using the SS funds for his personal pet projects in the 60's.

So, how is that 46 years of war on poverty working out for us? It did give us our first Affirmative Action President. I rest my case.:oops:

Oh my house will pan out, just not when I thought. Government fault? I fail to see what they have to do with it.

A chicken in every pot...
Everyone has a right to own a home...

Glad it stopped from 2000 to 2008 and also those Nixon, Reagan and GHWB years.

Your right Katz, the government was pushing for everybody to buy a house. It was only a matter of time that the housing bubble would burst.

Oh, the American Dream.

I thought is was the mortgage brokers/bankers. A buck was to be made.

There is a "socialist" aspect of it. It definitely was devised for the "social good". But it was more of a "group insurance" plan than a "government payroll plan". Today since it's paid with the taxes collected and not actually from an "insurance trust fund", it's status is more socialism than ever.

Conservatives have been trying to "fix" this plan for years. They are deterred by the incessant caterwauling of the Democrats and their accomplices in the lamestream media that Grandma's going to be eating cat food.

Funny about government programs and taxes. Very easy to start and almost impossible to stop. Once the beast gets his daily fill, a diet is out of the equation.

I don't understand why folks that have, let's say a lung ailment, can collect from the social security fund (disability)?? and still smoke, drink and raise Hell. It really ****es me off.

The problem is on The Hill. That's the change we need. All of them.

I believe that the American Dream is the Right to Life, Liberty and the pursute of Happiness.
I was always taught that meant that you could work and hard, enjoy the fruits of your own labor, and pretty much be master of your own destiny. The government didn't dumb down the loan officer that granted me a loan to buy a home. No banker in their right mind gives out a loan to someone who cannot pay it back...duh.
BTW, I'm starting to wonder what is being inhaled in Virginia this afternoon.

OK, thought maybe it was Franklin's Democratic Republic.

Your BS
