Who will be the recipient of the benefits from the the campaign promises of the democratic WH contenders? The middle/lower classes (so they claim). And who will pay for those same promises: The millionaires and billionaires and let's not forget large corporations. Unless you fit one of those 3 profiles you will receive something of great value and not be required to pay for it.....or so they claim. Most of us on the right know better.....
If JFK were alive.... Trump would still be a D-list celebrity.
The US Armed Forces are the most socialized group in the US.
Just pointing out that socialism is already well established in America.
Textbook example of cherry-picking.
Years ago ago read a book called Beyond the Welfare State by Gunnar Myrdal, Nobel laureate and the chief architect of the Nordic Model. In it he opined that the Nordic Model would never work in the US because the quality of our civil service was too low and did not foster the kind of intellectual competence necessary.
The primary reason that Venezuela is a failed state is due to its single-party political system. That is generally the reason states fail or become tyrannical. If socialism alone was the reason then all failed states or tyrannies would be socialist.
It has nothing too do with democracy. Nordic Model states are democracies too. What it has to do with is the capacity of government bureaucracies to handle large social programs competently. Whether the situation with respect to the US civil service has improved I do not know.
