So, What Have We Learned this Week?

Well, Socialized Medicine, as in Medicare, i.e. Universal Health Care, for Everyone, is too expensive when it costs billions to provide an actual service to taxpayers. Socialized Risk for Private Investment Bankers and the entire Financial System, is too Big to fail and not too expensive when it costs trillions and doesn’t provide a service but extracts actual money from taxpayers. You have to love the Republican answer as to who is too Big to Fail and who needs to be protected from the Free Market!

Apparently that Free-Market Deregulation philosophy works really well or not as the case may be. Karl Marx where are you when we really need you to explain this conundrum?

Only the Oligarchy gets Socialism. The Serfs on the other hand get to pay for the excess of their Overlords and the Free-Market System of Capitalism.

In some worlds this is seen as fair. Whose world is that? Vladimir Putin would be proud!

Is this the Shock Doctrine at work?
