    Default America's Socialist Programs

    Lots of people like to play the "socialist" card in terms of the Obama administration. Where this is headed is anyone's guess, but let's take a look at what some people think is appropriate to be cut.

    http://www.amarxica.com/pages/programs.html

    Government Worker Programs
    Civil Service Retirement Systems
    Federal Employee Retirement Systems
    Railroad Retirement System

    Housing & Urban Development [[HUD) Programs
    Public Housing
    Rental Vouchers & Certificates
    Section 8 Housing Vouchers
    Shelter Plus Care
    Single Room Occupancy
    Low Income Home Energy Assistance
    Social Security Programs
    Social Security [[OASDI)
    Unemployment Insurance
    Temporary Disability Insurance
    Medicare
    Medicaid
    Medicare Prescription Drug Plan
    Welfare Programs
    Supplemental Security Income
    Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
    Food Stamp Program
    Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children [[WIC)
    National School Lunch Program
    School Breakfast Program
    United States Department of Agriculture [[USDA)
    Programs That Threaten Liberties in General
    Federal Communications Commission [[FCC)
    Food and Drug Administration [[FDA)
    Import Tariffs

    Among others. I'd add aid and assistance to industry as well as subsidies to farmers too.

    My question is, where do you draw the line in the sand? How can anyone support these cuts? Is THIS what you are signing up for under the potential Republican/Tea Party platform? You betcha.
