This country is certainly moving toward socialism and away from capitalism.

No, it's not. Were dealing with the largest economic crisis since the Great Depression. No doubt plenty of people felt the same way then, "were moving toward socialism." Then along came WWII and a BUNCH of "social programs" and serious economic decisions had to be made. I'm sure many people felt we were moving to socialism once again. Then came the whole Communism witch hunt thing in the 50's, plenty folks felt we were in dangered by communist's taking over. That SAME TYPE of paranoia is what drives people to hold "Nazi" signs and get all angry and be divisive instead of constructive. It's mostly driven by "fear" NOT by some "love of country".
This is just another economic bump in the road that requires some serious action. I am amazed some folks have so little faith in our robust form of Government, a solid Republic it is and shall remain. Through this crisis and the next.
GM will survive, thanks to a Gov bail out, NOT "take over". The banks will recover, due in large part to the stimulus programs. Wall Street will thrive and once again top 11,000, maybe 12,000 this coming year! Unemployment will remain a serious problem for years to come, there's not much you can do about that. You can "throw the bum's out", but that's not going to turn around the job's picture. Wanna help? Offer some ideas!
