Dont believe the Gop plan to label everything “socialism “ as a bad thing . Throughout US history we have had socialist type programs and projects that have greatly benefited the USA.
For example
HOOVER DAM. Basically the project opened up the entire southwest US to a viable place for .people and business .
Hoover Dam > ENGINEERING.com
Irrigation of more than one million acres of land in the United States and nearly half a million acres in Mexico.
These croplands, some of America's richest, grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, cotton, wheat, and hay throughout the year, generating millions of dollars for local economies.
Meeting the domestic water needs of more than 18 million people in homes and businesses in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Phoenix, Tucson, and other southwestern cities, towns and Indian communities in Arizona, Nevada, and California.
Hmmm...Hoover Dam was a socialist program?
Yes . What else would you call it? It was a big government sponsored , tax payer paid for , project designed to benefit business improve the life of those residing in that part of the county .
And it worked wonderfully.
Venezuela....the government took control of the oil industry...that is socialism...the resulting lack of food and toilet paper because the government controls private industry...that too is socialism.
Which has nothing to do with the democrats and America .
