I'm not too happy about everything that is going on, but lets just remember who started it all.
GM should have been allowed to just file CH 11 in the first place, but that would crush our economy, kinda like if AIG would have failed.....and the worst thing to happen to republicans is for the economy to crumble after they have had control the greater part of 30 years.

They both should have been allowed to fail and we would have survived just fine.GM would have reorganized and had a fresh start and AIG would have been replaced by another.
Thats the way our system has worked for over 200 years and we have survived just fine.Usually coming out stronger.
Socialism dosent work,History shows us that.More and more Obama suporters are becoming aware that this is what he is.Some slower than others but this is what he is.

Im not going to play this word game with you.
The USA is a Republic and we have drifted away from that.We are not supposed to be a Democracy,Monarchy, Socialist State............
I wont sit here and tell you that this change we are seeing in our country is a new development and All Obamas fault however he is "The Last Straw" .
I dont like it,our government isnt running the way it supposed to nor is it running like a Republican Government that it was set up to be.Ive had enough of ALL the politicians in Washington.They no longer are listening to us nor are they looking out for our best interest in a fashion that that reflects the way MY government is supposed to.

Vici, why don't you try reading the article first before going on one of your constant tirades spewing your incessant vitriol? Show me in that article where you feel his Healthcare plan reeks of Socialism? You just want to disagree because you hate the guy. Plain and simple.

Wait for it people. I see a new headline in our future:
"Man apprehended trying to scale White House fence with assault weapons. Claims he's defending his 2nd Amendment right by fighting against Obama's tyrannical government"

I dont need look any further than Social Security,Medicare,and our deficit

Hell i can walk into any government run facility and come to the conclusion that the government cant run anything without screwing it up in a massive way with bureaucracy and inefficiency.

The reason I asked you to define socialism is b/c of this:

Which I would say it does not. It shows that communism does not work, and if the two are separate, then no, History does not show that as Europe seems to be doing just fine....

Communism is a form of socialism. Cuba, the USSR and North Korea all had socialist economic structures. China while being a Communist country has shifted away from many socialist economic policies and is allowing aspects of free market economies to take hold. I know a guy with a couple factories in China who joked that they seemed more capitalist than the United States at times.

That is splitting a hair that doesn't need to be split. What are the key differences between socialism and communism?
The differences aren't why communism failed. The similarities are why communism failed.
