So the government doesn't produce what the army provides?
Nope. At least not much of it. They buy it.

Why is clean air considered socialist?
Government never produces, it only destroys, steals and kills.

The internet started out as a government funded program. The irony is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

By that logic UHC isn't socialist since the government would just be buying medical supplies from private manufacturers.

None of these are "socialist programs".

Not so..Insurance is also socialist then. Boy with a mind like yours, I can see where socialism is the best thing every invented. :roll:
Programs that benefit society in general are socialistic.I'm only going with immediate family here, since I honestly don't know for most of my extended family. That being said, neither I nor my family have ever benefited from food stamps, welfare, or FEMA assistance.The benefits are indirect, if the potential starving have not stamps, then they will steal your food....
I also fail to see how some of these things are socialist programs. What exactly is socialist about street lighting and clean air?
It's also constitutional, which is the real point of all this arguing between right and left. The left wants EVERYTHING to be socialist. The right just wants us to run things according to the document we signed up to.
Fear and ignorance do these things, not government.Government never produces, it only destroys, steals and kills.
Totally untrue. I may be a "leftie", but I want things to be balanced.
And when did anyone of this age sign up to a scrap of paper written/designed hundreds of years ago?????
Yeah, it kills Nazi's, Commies, terrorists...
But it also creates a hell of a lot, most of which you obviously didn't think about when you posted.
Of the following, which Socialist programs do not and never have benefited you or anyone in your family? I'm assuming Libertarians will say they and their families have never, ever benefited from any of these...right?
