A number of recent comments complain that under President Biden, the country is sliding into socialism. It’s difficult to discern exactly what those comments mean as they seem to be comments afraid of the word, with no context.
From my understanding no one is pushing for price control, central economic planning, public ownership — all central principles of socialism. Social justice — absolutely! If the comments allude to government programs that provide a safety net for those who are in need — absolutely.
How is that any different than the government paying farmers to grow or not grow certain crops? Or Trump paying farmers billions during in the tariff war between China and the U.S., when U.S. farmers could not send their products to China? Or the tax breaks given to large companies (Trump’s tax break)?
Frankly, I’m more concerned about the ongoing massive voter suppression. This affects the root of our democratic system. Trump lost. No voter fraud was found anywhere, regardless of who was looking. If this effort continues and is successful, the U.S. will slide into a Third World country.
