highways, libraries, public education, EPA, VA, the list goes on and on as these are all socialism...Democratic socialism. Wonder if you have a republican definition of socialism which is totally incorrect. Republicans are the ones who want to privatize everything to personally profit from our social programs. FDR's NEW Deal was socialism and it saved our country from the horrors of the republican Great Depression and still does.
