Is the US headed towards a socialist government?

[NicksLP]

This conversation is vacuous and valuable evidence of people missing the point.

Bush spent over five years being fiscally irresponsible.

Obama is, for whatever reasons, following in his footsteps of fiscal irresponsibility after he stated that things would change. I don't see much change, other than the printing presses using more ink.

Debt increases, government prints money, and what is backing it up?

Not the US economy, which has been incrementally sold out for the past twenty years.

And you idiots are quibbling over socialism or democracy.

It would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic.

It doesn't matter what you call your government if you are broke.

It doesn't matter what you call your government if you are broke.

Well, considering even if America officially went bankrupt and other countries/corporations began divvying up our beloved country I bet my part of the debt that you'd have at least 100 million angry patriots still dedicated to the constitution and our washed up democracy. This thread, a long with everyones opinions in it are valid and are obviously are of the utmost interest to those of us who have taken part in this discussion. It's pessimists like you who would throw what we have left of this country to the wolves just to prove some whiny-ass point.

And you idiots are quibbling over socialism or democracy.

It would be funny, if it weren't so pathetic.

Firstly, the former part of your statement doesn't actually make sense. Noone is quibbling, and its a discussion about how big government is back to play a roll in our democracy, not an argument or debate between socialism and democracy.

Your statements would be insulting if you weren't obviously such a moron.
