Socialist america

is it just me or does it seem like the US is leaning more and more towards socialism? I mean the government now controls more of our economy than they should. and it doesnt help their cause that obama is trying to get universal health care. its starting...

to get unconstitutional.

No, it is not.

Please show me where in the constitution it mentions anything about socialism, or capitalism for that matter?

The only reason the government controls more of our economy is due to 28 years of republicans catering to big business by lifting regulations and trade barriers, which led directly to todays financial collapse.

Health care is completely different. It should be a right, not a privalege.

The reason the government is taking over more of the economy, is because this is their chance to get their agenda done...and they're not going to let that chance get away...Don't think they care much about the economy (mass spending, way and above any spending the history of the country at a time when the peons are scraping by)...The economic crisis works to their advantage because people are scared...and fear is the touchstone to change.

The good news...if the health bill passes, you'll be out of here sooner...

p

We already have forms of universal health care in this country...Medicare and the healthcare for our military.
Everyone should have healthcare, it is their right.

A mixture of socialism and capitalism is good for our country.

It's the nature of government to grow until it either collapses or is overthrown. Republics are not immune to this historical precedent.

The good news is, it generally takes several lifetimes to get to that point, and the US has not yet expended all nine lives.
