Is the US headed towards a socialist government?

To answer the OP:

The government is buying an interest in capital intensive industuries. Smells like fascism, not socialism.

So why is that conceptual model being overlooked? Business and government fused used to be called fascism.

Anyone care to comment on that?

I view fascism as a type of socialism... National Socialism to be exact. You'd need a charismatic leader, the government taking over major industries, encroachment on individual rights...
