In recent years, government in the U.S. has never been bigger, in terms of both spending and its power over individuals and the economy. Some have begun to openly wonder: Is the U.S. evolving into a socialist-style economy? And is that what Americans want? The latest I&I/TIPP Poll has answers.
Over the last three years, due to the COVID pandemic, government spending at all levels averaged just over 44% of GDP, the highest since World War II, when much of the economy was essentially socialized in order to boost war spending.
Today, a majority of Americans agree that the sudden, rapid growth from COVID-related spending and burgeoning top-down control o

Maybe those punks with their Che Guevara t shirts and copies of mein Kampf should have confronted and not ignored before they entered government. Lot of Harvard and Yale educated affluent elitists seem to find socialism preferable to sharing power with God fearing, government fearing regular folk of middle America.

History shows that once a country reaches a certain level of affluence, they turn to the left and ignore the principles that made them an affluent country. The decline then starts. The left has no idea what they are throwing away and in a few years, the average citizen will find himself being told what to do by their government with no other options on the table.

Give me a break The US is already a totalitarian socialist country. Totalitarian Socialists control nearly every US institution - government, the courts, academia, churches, charity organizations, local school boards.

I didn't vote for Obama because of the color of his skin but because he is a Socialist/Communist.

the social mood has sped past "socialism" and will be entering the political realm of communism, which will bring about the demise of the United States of America and the sheep will go to the slaughter in obedient lock step

FTA ... A third, and final, question was asked: Did respondents agree or disagree that “the government should control or own key industries such as health care and energy.”
This is not the definition of socialism. This is the textbook definition of Fascism.

Obama, a true Marxist, like his Dad and Mom, is behind this hard push to "transform" this country into a Marxist based Socialist/Communist country. His Marxist disciples are all through the Biden administration, and he has goofy Biden as President to take the blame for all the unpopular policies of the administration.
The Marxists hate free market capitalism so they set out of day one to put our economy in the dirt by attacking our fossil fuel production and distribution (nobody will want to transform to a Marxist based system if people are enjoying the fruits of free market capitalism). They know that an abundance of gas, oil and coal at free market prices is the Mother's Mild of free market capitalism. By intentionally chasing up the price of energy they planted the seeds of inflation. All the economic crap we are living with was done intentionally. I hope enough Americans realize that and PUSH BACK!!!!!

When a government elects itself through rigged elections,
it doesn't matter what the people want.

BS. If the majority of people thought the U.S. was headed toward socialism, then why is Biteme and so many demosluts in office? If the poll is to be believed, then fraud in elections is the only reason for so many demosluts in D.C.

Headed? We’re there! Government is our sugar daddy and big brother. And Americans are happy with that.
