Do you think that Medicare and Medicate programs are socialism?
For decades we have been having programs for the elderly do you think that they are a form of socialism? Didn't Bush revamp the prescription drug program for the elderly and disable. I guess Bush believed in socialism too.

For the record, I am find with the Socialism programs of Medicare and Medicate. However, I am really tired of ppl complaining about Obama being called a Socialism. When we have socialism programs for years. I guess some ppl want to have it both ways.

Yes, it is socialism. Just like other services America appreciates...oh...like...
Police Firefighters Libraries Social Security Public Schools United Postal Service (our mail)
You know...the little things. Maybe we should make these businesses. Then there'd be profit involved. THINK how much better our mail would be delievered if there was a profit driver??? lol. Some things need a little regulation but, there should be checks and balances in place.
Yeah, Obama isn't socialist any more than Clinton or Bush. Even take Palin...Alaska pays people for destroying their state and taking oil. That's distributing the wealth around to all citizens. Just as socialist as these long standing programs which Obama didn't create.
Some people just won't see it. We're taught eairly on socialism is evil...I guess there is good reason we learned that. It had a big influence on our teachers. But, no one ever educates our students there are socialist programs in the USA.
Yes I do. Its not the job of the federal government to create social programs. If anything they should make it mandatory that all working people have to take the SS percentage and put into some kind of savings or investment. If you lose it all then you lose it. Cant you people see theses social programs are breaking us.
Yes, they are socialism. Just like any Gov programs, highways, fire, police, postal service. Just a scare tactic, and said in a way as to scare people.
