Capitalism and social programs are not mutually exclusive. The United States already combines private markets with Social Security, Medicare, public schools, roads, and other shared institutions. The real debate is not capitalism versus socialism—it is how to balance market freedom, innovation, and personal responsibility with public protection against risks individuals cannot reasonably bear alone. Democracy and capitalism can thrive with a social safety net, but only if the programs are effective, affordable, and do not undermine the system that creates the wealth to support them.
@RahmEmanuel Just the usual dems party line. No acknowledgment of the realities of the Iran Hamas Hazbollah death cult. Just look at the so called negotiations
Wow for such a smart person you are missing so much in that analysis. I’ll mention two obvious ones
Israel is surrounded and vunerable. The US is far away.
And … the Islamists won’t let any so called agreements be made. When they say death through Israel and death to America, they mean it.
@ImBreckWorsham No that’s not true. Islam started 1300 years ago. We started 3000
The Iranian/Persian empire started around 700 BC. And all by conquest back and forth
So no your whole thesis is wrong
@GeraldoRivera You like others have a foolish and misguided view. If Hazbollah would stop there would be no conflict. In fact that you well know Hazbollah is interfering with Good Lebanese Israeli relations
@AmericaRecharge Think of the ideas that made America -from the Jewish Bible and Hayim Solomon without whose financing we might have lost the revolution
