Heck, we've had socialism for the wealthy going back to the Reagan years... It has gotten progressively worse with each administration... Call is voodoo economics or trickle-down economics, it ain't working for the folks who, ahhhh, create the "wealth" that the wealthy disporportionately enjoy???

After 9/11 Bush gave the airlines $26B without any protest about "socialism"... That, BTW, is more than we spend for "No Child Left Behind"... Then when Bear-Sterns found it had made alot of bad investments, Bush gave them $25B??? No protest of "socialism" there either... How about the no-bid contracts to Halliburton, Blackwater, etc.??? No protest of "socialism" there...

But when a country that spends the highest percentage of its GNP on health care and is ranked 17th among develolped nations in health care says to itself, "Hey, this ain't workin", all of a sudden we hear these protests of "socialism"???

Seems purdy strange to me...

Me thinks the real O-blabbo in the equation is right here in Mudville o-blabbing away about a topic for which he or she has very little understanding...
