Socialism has become our saviour.

Funny thing. When conservatives panic, they tend to turn to socialist measures to fix serious problems. In other words, they seem to be acknowledging that socialism ain't so bad. Consider the fact that the bailouts of Wall Street and the insurance companies were initiated by none other than the George Bush administration. Yet the Obama administration is being credited/blamed for it all. Yes, when push comes to shove, George Bush is the socialist. Maybe because he and his secretary of the treasury panicked. They thought the capitalist system was going under. And they needed to save it. At any cost. Including a big dose of socialism. So the long-perceived enemy became the friend. Now that the second Great Depression has been averted by socialism, the capitalists refuse to give credit where credit is due. To socialism as the saviour of the American economy. Of course, we still have a long way to go to a full recovery. And there's still the possibility of a relapse. And a complete collapse of the economy. But if that happens, it'll be because capitalists went back to their old idiotic practices. Ignoring the benefits of socialism. Or at least a well-regulated form of capitalism. Which, in essence, amounts to socialism. --Jim Broede
