    -the stimulus package
    -subsidized home ownership
    -universal healthcare
    -government renogotiating debt contracts (mortgages, credit cards, etcetera)

    In other words, the public is looking for socialism. Pleading for it. Demanding it. We don't say we are, we claim to all be "hard-working, do-it-ourselfers". But when push comes to shove, what's our answer? Beg the government to solve our problems for us.

    Hell, just look at gas going over $2.50/gallon. What's the average reaction in the street? A whiny: The government ought to do something about this...
