@athousandyoungsaid The US government landed a man on the moon, invented nuclear technology and the internet.

@no1maraudersaid Why don't you tell me what you think "Socialism" is and then I'll tell you whether you can put a check in that column.
I think Democratic Socialists is the term du jour..... and that, I think, is a belief that both the economy and the society should be run democratically , to meet public needs. Further, that no citizen shall be allowed to profit ahead of others. This regulation, therefore, is a concept of control, if you will, by an ‘entity-certain’. Take that a step further, and you will find that the controlling entity can be none other than Government.
Is this the definition of the Socialism being bandied around in the daily news? If not, can you modify? Let’s get on same page of def, then discuss its merits. Thanks.

Thousand, Thousand, here you go again....Friedman said that advances as noted have never come from a ‘CENTRALIZED” government. The USA is not a centralized government. Don’t worry, I myself have made a few statements here incorrectly, but I’m nicer to you than these turkeys have been to me!

The ARPANET was initially funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense.

The three projects mentioned were not funded/run by state or local governments.

Earlier, I suggested that No1Marauder 'qualified' as being for Socialism. He responded, exactly 24 hours ago, that if I would define it, he would tell me if he is for Socialism. I defined it as I understand it, for his perusal. See above. I cant wait for this discussion after he responds.

I don't spend 24/7 on this Forum; the Sanders thread got my attention earlier in the day and I spent the rest of it at dinner with my daughter and granddaughter. I'll try to get to your post tonight if I can.

My apologies, I didn’t sound very nice. And frankly I will be off of this thing thing week, as I will follow with Keen interest the historical movements of the president.
@kellyjaysaid The list of how some countries are doing just by looking at the "Nominal GDP" isn't as good as it appears without taking into account their debt.
I tried to read your post three times to no avail. Can you translate it to English?

good luck with that...marerider#1 lives in a world that what is required for him to be correct is merely for him to say he is...I gave up long ago.
How's "socialist" California doing?
