Think Pinko

You know, there was a lot of screaming during the election about how people don’t want socialized medicine. It will stop innovation. You’ll only get the medical care the government says you can get. It’s bad! Hmm. Let’s review the last few weeks, shall we?

The financial industry teetered. We bailed them out. So now the American people are basically shareholders in some of the biggest financial institutions in the U.S. Which to me seems just 2 degrees off of “liberating” the banks for the greater glory of the People. Viva la revolucion!

And now the car industry is ready to crater. And we’re going to bail them out too. But with the condition of government oversight of their actions. Terrific. Because that worked so well in the USSR. I’ve always wanted to drive a Volga.

But we definitely don’t want socialized medicine. Because socializing things is bad.
