Be very careful of the socialist dream. It leads down a dark path. Sure it sounds nice with security for all. There are some good ideas and ways to implement them. Carried too far you have the backlash of the people paying for it. When companies can't afford to hire workers, entrepreneurs are discouraged and personal initiative is shut down by the welfare state, pretty soon your country is sitting on the sidelines wondering what the hell happened.
Take this lesson with you to the polls however you care to interpret it.
Yeah, the system is so bad and unprofitable, that must be why the dollar keeps falling against the Euro (btw, a concept first introduced by the French to compete with the US) and for the first time could surpass us by the end of this year.
Keep on your high horse, we'll see who comes out on top in the next decade or so. Americans can be so stupid sometimes.
