It all began with public education and public roads, bridges, public buildings, etc.
Its to bad that so many communist repeat such narrow talking points such as what you posted above. It has everyone convinced that public expenditures of any kind is "socialism" but hitler also built public roads and so did the writers of the constitution. Are they both socialist? Of course not but there is difference between the two ideas about the role of government in society. Hitler, Stalin, Wilson, Mussilini, and Teddy Rosevelt all believed that government was a communal leader of society and this thinking created the fascist dictatorships there and over here.
So what I listed is not socialistic?

Can you see, in the United States, any time soon, where the means of production will be in the hands of society and not corporations? No, it's not going to happen. No, Obama is not a socialist.
Government as leader of society is a fact wherever government exists. In a democracy government is representative and governs at the will of the electorate. In authoritarian and totalitarian states, government is the instrument of the party in maintaining power for itself against domestic opposition.
