That concern is in the minds of everyone in the US. That fact doesnt bode well for any upcoming elections. Do you have any idea how much stuff democrats have been railing about the past few years, that they will now have to completely drop in order to regain the publics trust? I cant imagine the right going against guns to win elections. We have way more integrity than that, but democrats will throw out all the shit they have been telling us is important. They wont be saying defund the police, or railing about trans shit. They will quietly let all of those positions slide away.

Most democrats want a huge cradle to grave nanny system run by a huge gov't bureaucracy, but that requires very high, broad-based taxes ala Sweden that the American taxpayers do not want. So, they try to implement as much of that nanny state as they can at every opportunity, without actually paying for it. They use gimmicks such as passing legislation that requires 10 years of taxes but only 3 years of benefits and tell us it's paid for when it really isn't. That's because it's politically hard to take back any benefits once they are established, and so we end up pushing the tax burden further and further out or we add to the national debt. Or some combination of the two. And nobody seems to care about the enormous problem that future generations will have to deal with, namely servicing that debt. It ain't so bad when interest rates are near zero, but once those rates start to climb as they are now, we'll begin to see enormous interest payments approaching a trillion dollars a year just to pay the interest.

So, IMHO we are inching closer to a democratic socialist state, or am I to assume that at some point the socialists will say okay, that's enough? The gov't is big enough, no need to get any bigger? Yeah, I think not, there's always something more that the democrats will want to spend money on and create a new program to administer. We may not end up with a pure socialist state where the gov't actually owns the means of production, but they sure as hell will be able to control it to their satisfaction, and that IS socialism.

It isn't but it is our system of economic policy. As I said, the Socialist ship set sail on this country long ago.

no it is not our system,, its the system set up by people in power to help themselves,,

you sure do spend a lot of time complaining while protecting the people responsible for what you complain about,,

 

[MisterBeale]

The situation has to continue as long as the global ruling classes use America as the muscle to force the every other nation into their NWO.

All the other, supposedly "socialist," or western nations, have puny militaries, to force other nations to give up all their resources and labor, to giant transnational corporations.

I think it's more a question of political policy, rather than economics. Sound economic policy would be to let failed businesses fail rather than bailing them out with taxpayer dollars.

LOL. I'm stating simple facts. You are left arguing our system is not our system. LOL

simple fact is thats not capitalism even though you keep saying it is,,

But that is NOT what we do so that is not our system. I have no idea why people want to argue we are ran by some theory that no one actually practices.

Reading comprehension is not your strong point. I clearly said it was not BUT that is the system we operate under. We operate and have long operated under a socialist system.

And with them go the economy.

We all agree that’s not a good thing. Right?

In the Democrat Party platform.

 

[progressive hunter]

why did you bring up capitalism if thats not what they are doing and when I ask who claimed it to be capitalism you went off in a different direction instead of answering me??

That's true enough. It started with Lincoln. It gained steam under Wilson and really accelerated under FDR.
