    Well in that case most of our socialism is corporate socialism.

    And the corporations, and their owners, are doing quite nicely by it.

    So it's about time we had some socialism for the REST of society.

    It's not necessarily socialism, because, other than nutters like Trump, even the most squalid exploiters know they need live mugs to exploit.

    And we still have our freedom. Not communist.

    And it didn't destroy the country or the work ethic.

    Imagine!

    All those conservative myths were false.

    But ... but ... but Hoover Dam? Planned and built by the Government. That's COMMUNISM!!! Sure, it irrigated the desert Southwest and turned the land into an agricultural basket that feeds the Nation, but what's next? Nationalizing all the Shoestring companies in America!!!

    Not my responsibility to teach you what you think you already know, especially when you have a computer.
    AMERICAN HISTORY ITSELF IS A TESTAMENT TO THE STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE OF AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE, ALONG WITH THE COURGE AND SACRIFICES OF CONSCIOUS WHITE AMERICANS, LIKE VIOLA LIUZZO, EVERETT DIRKSEN, AND MANY OTHERS, HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED TOGETHER FOR OUR FREEDOM, AND FOR OUR SURVIVAL.

    In America, rights are are not determined by what is just, fair, equitable, honest, nor by what Jesus would do. Rights are determined ONLY by what you can DEMAND.

    agree. there is junk in there about green infrastructure and job training -neither are COVID relief ( or needed)
    I tend to think it's the usual Dem spending on anything they possibly can and more -
    but if you want to call it socialism -fine by me.

    But how could it be communism if everybody who worked on it freely decided to do it of their own free will?

    And what part of mega corporate dominance of government and economy is not in the process of eliminating all small businesses anyway?

    no. we've always had spending for the common good -simple taxation is not socialism
    when government spending becomes a main component of our economy -i think ( though definitions are elastic) that qualifies as such

    Imagine that socialism, ie; Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, are the only things that are keeping MILLIONS of American seniors ALIVE?

    Imagine that.
