How about cutting the socialist crap altogether?
Scalpels are like swords, just smaller.
Most here seem do seem to prefer to spend $1 trillion to blast three boats to smithereens, even though the scalpels would get used to save the lives of about a third of persons they would get used on and most guns on military bases would remain uselessly locked up.
You see ... if The Right People are in charge, socialism will work this time. Because True Socialism has never been tried. But THIS TIME, we'll get it right. Because we're The Right People.
And who are The Right People? You don't even have to ask; they'll tell you, while touting "Their Proposal" which will solve all the problem the last set of The Right People caused.
