   Actually, Medicare isn’t bankrupt. Social Security wouldn’t be in trouble if it wasn’t for Reagan, et al, robbing it at gun point to give it away as corporate welfare.

   Systems work, just that (certain) Republicans are idiots.

   The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.

   The problem with this country is that it stopped actually being capitalist a long time ago.

    The problem is we don’t have real capitalism anymore. We have corporatism. If we had capitalism we would have shorter intellectual property ownership periods, shorter patent ownership periods, more and smaller companies in industries and fair regulation. If we had the above we wouldn’t have a health care crisis or a bank crisis.

    Sorry but you can’t read only the parts of Adam Smith you like.

    “capitalism” isn’t magic. The “good old days” sucked. socialism is actually a very very good thing. yes social security and medicare are socialism. If the average American understood that, the word “socialism” would have no power.

    I bet the average American doesn’t know that social security programs were funded without the heavy hand of socialism.

    Poor America is still afraid of that word socialism. They just don’t get it. It’s sad for the poor who are the ones who need this reform. Funny how it works for practically all other developed nations without them becoming communist hotbeds of revolution and global domination. Their right wing and big business have won again. Suckers!! Such ignorance does not deserve a break. But…. I pity the poor. For them it is hell.
