Socialist policies make up over half of US spending and taxes. Social security will become insolvent in less than 10 years and already isn't enough to pay for someone's retirement.

You know what would fix insolvency? If the rich were properly taxed, which happens with socialist policies. You know what would make it easier to raise children? If every citizen was guaranteed healthcare, which happens with socialist policies. You know why inflation is increasing at an abnormal rate? Capitalist policies. Insurance companies charging whatever they want because they set their own prices, capitalism. Rent increasing rapidly because private equity firms charging whatever they want because they set their own prices, capitalism.

Capitalism isn't the problem. Unchecked capitalism and lobbying are the problem. The VA is proof we have a long way to go before we can even think of universal Healthcare. Not to mention, when it is perfect, its really only beneficial for medicines. But you can die if you need a life saving procedure.
