well, no kidding. although america continues to slide down the slippery slope of entitlements, socialism is still a pretty dirty word in america. that stigma has pretty well faded away in the rest of the world.

only history ( a loooong time from now) will show if this was a good thing or bad. but for now at least most americans, to verying degrees, agree that "socialist" ideas are not the right path for america to follow. even if it is just lip-service from many, that is what is said out loud.
