Mona Charen makes an excellent point.
America is far more socialist than Americans like to believe:
"Americans prefer small government to big government — in the abstract."
"But 60 million receive Medicaid benefits; 54 million collect Social
Security; 48 million participate with Medicare; 45 million receive food
stamps; 7 million are in prison, in jail, or on parole or probation;
more than a million have de facto government jobs working for defense
contractors; nearly a million children participate in Head Start; and
about 40 percent of K–12 students receive free or reduced-price meals.
There’s some overlap in those categories, but it still adds up."
"We are, in short, a socialist-style society just like Europe. And Obamacare has yet to kick in."
"The road to recovery begins with admitting you have a problem."
