Assignment #8 scastaldo

Harold Meyerson is writting in the Washington Post about how ridiculus it is that some people say that we are headed into a socialist government. Meyerson takes a very sarcastic approach to making his point that he belives it is the conservatives system and their fault for the breakdown our economy is having right now. Meyerson doesn't belive that we are headed toward socialism but that we are just correcting a system that didn't work in the first place.
I understand that certian things like our health care system mabey are not the best, but that it is definetly not the worst in the world. However I don't belive that "universal health care" is the answer, i belive that is trading one problem for another. Having times being bad right now is just apart of the ups and downs of a free market. I don't belive that bail outs or hand outs are going to fix the problem, they will only prolong it, and if you let the free market take its corse then you will find that everything will bounce back again.
