For the record, the USA was founded as a Republic. No ceremony was performed, no certificate issued that changed our status to Democracy. The subject came up during the 19th Century Socialist attack on the American culture.

The Progressive Woodrow Wilson was quite taken with the term and he probably influenced the unofficial title transfer during the conscious, that is, early period of his presidency.

The opportunistic Democrats picked right up on it. The Republicans, much like todays version, looked the other way.

Why, yes, look at all those great jobs in Vietnam. The Chinese (aren’t they socialist?) were moving their factories to Vietnam ( aren’t they socialist?) because they could get away with paying the Vietnamese workers $100 a month. That is less than one dollar an hour. There’s a socialist workers paradise for you.

That’s why Boeing is looking to set up a new shop outside of Washington.

An “economics teacher” how perfect. In my two dozen years in higher education I NEVER met a single Economist who knew a damned thing about how markets worked.

Worked great for the Soviet Union, and it is so far working great for the USA. We should be in the state of total economic collapse pretty soon thanks to the socialists and 51 percent of stupid Americans that embrace these horror shows! Great that the libtard Californians that moved to Seattle are on a path to destroy that destination also. They are like a freakin’ cancer.
