BonAppetit:
Democrats have gone in all-in on socialism. Extremists like Ocasio-Cortez are steering the ship. A vote for a D is a vote for the DSA. Americans now have a choice. Do they want stability, prosperity, peace and to bask in the light of a system that has lifted billions out of poverty worldwide? Or do they want to embrace a system that has never worked, and have starvation, looting, murder and rape running rampant on the streets?
Radicals like Ocasio-Cortez are the greatest threat to the Republic in over a century. All Americans must hope sanity prevails and their extreme socialist views will not spread futher.
But the leftists in the US will be the nice guy socialists, sort of a more kind, generous and caring version of Chairman Mao.
The useful idiots in this country are buying into incremental socialism, and swooning over this idiotic Democratic-Socialism crap.
Socialism does not allow for the people to have a choice. Socialism is the government’s way, or you get punished. There will be no choice in doctors or medical plans in a Medicare for all scheme. There will be no choice if the Green New deal decides your property, your city is the new location for eminent domain to take your land to build a giant solar or wind farm.

We’ve already got too much socialism in the US what with social security and Medicare and VA health benefits and highways and police departments and fire and libraries and parks and water districts and whatnot.
So, the question for the capitalists is, if it’s so great, what is the model country for capitalism? Past or present?
Should be pretty easy to come up with just one example.
Huh. No takers yet?
C’mon folks. Let’s hear it.
What’s your model country that illustrates the value of unfettered capitalism?
Yes, Venezuela and Cuba are the innovation capitals of the world…

Redlining and concentration of poor minorities into the cities.

If you are going to try to place the entire blame of the 2008 kerfuffle on Freddie/Fanny… you will lose that debate.

Kerfuffle? Odd.
There isn’t going to be any debate. Lobbying. Voting blocks. Special interests. Vote buying.
Every single time.

Yes. Kerfuffle.
The rest of your post makes no sense to the discussion.

Every thing the government touches turns to crap. Look at the education system. College debt. On and on and on.
And the propagandists thrive on it. The only reason they report that DC ■■■■ is so you’ll think it’s important and look at more of it.
Government is the problem, not the solution. Always.

This one. “Unfettered capitalism” is every bit as horrible an idea as socialism, communism or any other ism you can think of.
There has to be balance.

Check your premises. There is no balance and the central government is touching everything.
