It has been for quite some time. "Big Government" is not necessarily a hallmark of socialism. Looking at what the Government actually DOES is a good way to figure out what sort of government it is.
This one:
Makes the cutting of wages and jobs a requirement for "help" for troubled companies
Cuts educational funds ("hard decisions and sacrifices")
Cuts unemployment (over the course of decades)
Cuts access to healthcare (and consults with the insurance industry when "redesigning" health care access)
Wages pre-emptive war
Continues to detain people without pressing charges
Continues to export people for "special interrogation"
Continues to not prosecute war criminals in order to cover its own part in it all
No so much socialist. |
Most of what you wrote has nothing whatsoever to due with economics. Some of it is outright lies about the current situation.

Socialism refers to any one of various economic theories of economic organization advocating state or cooperative ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equal opportunities/means for all individuals with a more egalitarian method of compensation based on the full product of the laborer.
