The gotcha is they don’t work, and they need to resort to brutal fascist level tactics to enforce them.

And they resort to taking other people’s money to fund their unworkable ideas.

Imagine socialism taking over in a country that is already carrying trillions of dollars of debt that it has no chance of ever paying down. Yep, that would be us.

There was a story in the news that Thursday the US revealed it had stopped a shipment of missiles from Iran to Yemen, and that it had also seized and sold 1.1 million barrels of oil (and sold it) that was being illegally shipped from Iran to Venezuela.

The oil shipment is noteworthy because if you google "oil reserves by country" you'll see that Venezuela is ranked #1 in oil reserves in the world. Number 1, more proven oil reserves than any other country... Yet they have to resort to trying to illegally import oil. That's socialism right there. So eff'd up they can't even take advantage of the resources they have.
