Rep. Alan Grayson Praises the Creation of ‘Stealth Socialism’ in America

Congressman Alan Grayson (D-Fla.) — who once said in an elaborate presentation that the Republican healthcare plan is for the sick to “die quickly” — praised the creation of “stealth socialism” in America in a recent interview with David Dayen at Salon.

Speaking about the Federal Reserve’s rapidly-growing balance sheet, Grayson remarked:

We’ve had a government takeover of the bond market. Stealth socialism’s been created. Government simply ends up owning more and more and more. If government had taken over the steel industry, maybe it would have been more noticeable. They’ve taken over the financing of housing industry as well, with a desired result.

Jorge Bonilla (R), a U.S. Navy veteran whose parents immigrated to the United States from Puerto Rico, is running against Grayson in 2014. He ridiculed Grayson’s remarks, noting that while Grayson claims to be able to “[scare] the crap” out of Republicans, he has so far refused Bonilla’s offer to debate. Bonilla suggested Grayson explain the benefits of “stealth socialism” to all those whose hours have been cut, who have lost their jobs, or “who have been dropped from their health care coverage due to the onerous mandates that he voted for.”

I like that guy.

I loathe Grayson but he’s right about creeping socialism in America. They’ve been making stealthy progress since the end of WW2, with a short break to catch their breath during the Reagan years.

So if he likes socialism so much, when does Mr. Grayson yield up his personal fortune for the redistributive betterment of his fellow citizens? Where’s mine?

Its not even stealth anymore. We ARE Communist China.

How did this assclown get re-elected?

May this guy be one day standing in the people’s court and reminded of his oath to the Constitution of the United States while charges are brought against him.

You forget that since you don’t need ID to vote the dead were raised for that specific occasion.

Urban district (Orlando) with large Puerto Rican population.

Did some set of dumb nasses put that crazy SOB back in office??

[ronnie raygun]

Would love to see him and his cohorts on trial and convicted

So you're telling me that Jorge has a real chance of sending Grayson home?

[manc]

you and me both.

[Clemenza]

Would be very nice. Depends on how many Boricua want to defect from their loyalty to the Dem party.

Yeah, nobody notices but the damn socialists, who applaud.
