Ex,

You are getting hung up, taking objection and debating the definition of the term "Socialism" - what the current administration really supports is a rise of the State, or "Statism" - more control of the private sector co-opted by the State (Federal Government). An simple example: they could have let Chrysler & GM go through a "normal" bankruptcy, but they choose to allow the State step in and take it over - turning the bankruptcy process on its head and giving unpredecented and blatant favor to the unions (not the American people); the administration simply disregarded numerous laws on the books that have stood for 10s and 100s of years!!!

Whatever it is called, it is a ridiculous expansion of the government; this country was built on the concept of a limited Federal government; programs like these are destroying that concept in favor of the next BS program to help save some maligned group or cause. This had been happening relatively slowly since FDR, with the exception of LBJ; Obama would like to accelerate the ascent of the State; and people like you are standing there, applauding when you should be...(aw, what the use?)
