It's a socialist program. If you don't make cuts to it, then you are a part of the socialist program.
We all know you would cut it if you could but you know how unpopular that would be. It's like you saying you don't want to make abortion murder. Sure you do. You just can't admit it or you'll lose elections.
You guys claim you do NOT want to make cuts to these programs. So you are socialists? We all know you aren't. Deep down you want to kill those programs.
And you are slowly chipping away at it too. I know you're not a socialist. I know you don't like public schools or programs like medicare. I know.
Socialism and capitalism are economic models that concern themselves primarily with what's done with the surplus product created by profitable industries. Capitalism says that the profits belong to the owner of the business and it is up to them to determine pretty much all aspects of running their business. Socialism, either through state-control/regulatory bodies/workers councils, carries out the will of the workers to equitably redistribute the wealth created by industries.
With that in mind, a road does not generate a profit, the police do not participate in the market, students do not receive wages for their "work" and libraries do not typically sell products in order to become wealthy.
Collecting taxes to pay for public services and welfare programs is not socialist. Every modern country has roads, public schools and police officers, that doesn't make them inherently socialist. Ancient rome had highways, public bathhouses and aqueducts but this doesn't mean they invented socialism.
I've seen some attempt to say that universities are socialist institutions due to tuitions, enrollment and profits from sports events being central to their continued operation. The critical difference is that these profits are not passed on to "workers" (students) who make up the body of the school and the students do not have a prominent role in how the school's money is spent, that role belongs to the administration.
Not all government action is socialist just because you happen to enjoy or benefit from it. When someone repeats "Do you like roads, police, fire departments etc." Ask them "How much gross profit did your fire department make last year?"
