You know, from a country that has for individuals
-unemployment insurance
-food stamps
-Section8 housing
-Flood insurance
-Medicare
-Medicaid
-Social Security
-Farm Subsidies
-Mortgage subsidies (aka tax deductions)

on the kind of scale that barely exist in the BRIC countries, and then combined with the fact that we have essentially large chunks of the following industries NATIONALISED in all but name -

-Insurance
-Automobiles-
-Finance (Welfare St. not Wall St., in other words
-Federal Mortgage Guarantors (freddie, fannie etc.

It is funny to hear Americans call other countries ideological epithets.

That is all.
