Now, now Felix. Let's not start with your typical undercut insults. I agreed to discuss this simply because you asked me to and were seemingly missing our spirited debates and/or me. If you're still bruising from previous smackdowns don't drag it in here eh? Perhaps venting on a blogspace or something like I suggested. But let's try keep this discussion civil or not have it at all. Besides, the members and moderators even crticised your threads as rambling and confusing - not mine.
And now that that's sorted.
There are many things in the USA that are socialized. Schools, police & fire departments, emergency services, the civil service. Even if the country was heading toward socialism, which it is not (at what point does a 3% tax increase for the filthy rich equal socialized govenrment? lol) it would most likely improve everything from healthcare to energy consumption. Just look at Europe and how "grown up" they are in policies, practices. They are way ahead of the USA as far as healthcare goes for example, and, despite the lies told by the neocons, the healthcare in most of Europe is equal to (even better) than the US.
The economy fell to pieces under GW, and now, after one hundred and some days of Obama actually working FOR the interests of the people instead of working against them, economists are already predicting an end to the recession. My god, an end to it already! Do you see what a good heart, a level head and a lack of greed can do? Fix things, that's what.
