Obama: Recovery 'a ways off'

When I look at these photos of the most powerful socialist/communists in the world conspiring to destroy world economies and gain ultimate power, I want to puke!
Now he claims to need another $1 Trillion for health care. They keep bumping the numbers up from 46 Million to 50 Million. The actual numbers that they are reporting is 45.7 Million. That includes illegals, those who refuse to get health insurance even though they could, others who qualify for medicad but won't get off their buts to apply. The question they asked to get their 50 million is "Have you gone without insurance at some point during the past year?" That's it. CNN estimates the number should be closer to 9 million people. So we're spending $1 Trillion to give health insurance to 9 million people that refuse to get it.
Change we need? Change we can believe in?
The USA has been a socialist democracy for most of our lifetimes. We have social security, medicare, interstate highways, and many other national programs. Using the word socialism is simply a scare tactic used by the right wingers to scare Americans who do not understand the difference between socialism and communism. The question is not whether we are socialist, but how socialist we will become.
Many, more socialist, European democracies that regulated their banks, averted the housing bubble, bank collapse debacle and are therefore much healthier financially today than we are.
Total state ownership of business is bad, but so is unregulated capitalism. We must find a balance that works for US and quit the name calling and scare tactics for political gain.
Wake up!
ps. capitalism has been regulated just fine, in fact, it has been over regulated. The only ones gaining the system are the tax cheats in charge.
