There is no 'going Socialist', the US is already partially Socialist. The question is how much. [View All]

National Defense is Socialized, we have a partially Socialist Postal service, we have an inadequate Socialist retirement benefit and the elderly have Socialized medicine, etc.

The question is, what percentage of our economy should be Socialist and what parts should comprise that percentage if you dont think the percentage should be either 0% or 100%.

That is what should be the national discussion in my not so humble opinion. There is no one who thinks we should be zero percent Socialist. Freepers and Libertarians will claim that they do until you explain that the military is Socialist and what it would take to make it non-Socialist.
