So very many here in America are breathlessly eager to follow suit....we've just elected a Marxist cokehead to the White House and we're having a a huge slice of Socialism jammed down our throats, masquerading as a 'stimulus package'.  If Britain is a textbook example, it seems we aren't reading the book.
