Bush Is A Socialist!

At the G-20 meeting, Bush agreed to subject the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and our other regulatory agencies to the supervision of a global entity that would critique its regulatory standards and demand changes if it felt they were necessary. Bush agreed to create a College of Supervisors.


Where Franklin Roosevelt saved capitalism by regulating it, Bush, to say nothing of Obama, has given the government control over our major financial and insurance institutions. And it isn't even our government!


The power has now been transferred to the international community, led by the socialists in the European Union.


Will Obama govern from the left? He doesn't have to.


George W. Bush has done all the heavy lifting for him. It was under Bush that the government basically took over as the chief stockholder of our financial institutions and under Bush that we ceded our financial controls to the European Union.

Re: Bush Is A Socialist!

I am new to USA politics and government, being a Canadian, but I know this, the USA needs to get with it and have medicare across the board for everyone, like Canada has it! Anyone who told anyone that Canadian medicare is a failure is out of his mind! Some call it socialism. I don't care what it is called, but national medicare is a must.

Ahem. Carry on.

I agree. Having grown up in Germany as a kid I can attest that the medical care there is fantastic as well.

Re: Bush Is A Socialist!

the only way to do that here is to really take down capitalism a notch and or take more money from the tax payers....Medicine in America is a high premium.

You can't realistically get everyone coverage just like that when the cost is so enormous.

Medication alone for every American is enough to bankrupt us. I payt 2k out of pocket after insurance because medication in the US is so expensive

Saying one does not care what something is called is not saying one does not care in general. lol

I totally agree with you.

This is because our doctors make three-times as much as any other doctor in the world. NPR stated that the average salary of a doctor was 350,000 a year. In Germany, the average pay is around 120,000.

Re: Bush Is A Socialist!

Medicade in the out years as a 10+trillion dollar defecit. some say in 30 years that number could be 30TRILLION Plus.

That is without extending it to the population.


Now. after covering the $$$ on the issue... lets talk our AFF example of Canadian healthcare.

Ron likes it. Ron got hurt. Ron was left at home on pain killers for months waiting on a surgery that would both fix the pain and let him go back to work.

someone is going to have spend a HUGE amount of time explaining to me why that is a good thing. Because I aint buying it. I cannot imagine having to wait months on end for a surgery that will stop my pain.

For many Americans, there would be no hope of surgery to fix the injured ankle period.

It's not a vital organ.

Eventually, it will heal itself.

The average American without healthcare coverage would have to get painkillers some other way or just suck up the pain and keep moving.
