Socialism sucks! (Virus hits). Socialism save us!!

Are you upset that Trump is giving out that capitalist money in socialist programs? Evidently Trump believes socialism is the answer to our problem. Those are the only steps he has taken.
its clear youre to ignorant to know thats not socialism,,,so theres nothing I can do to help but only to mock your ignorance,,,

Got it. You have no example of a capitalist solution to Corona virus.

BTW: What do you mean by solution.

Capitalism and socialism have no solution for cancer either.

What are you talking about.

I'm asking for a capitalist solution to deal with our virus problem.

And I've asked about three times, what represents a solution ?

No deaths
1% dead
Stock market at a certain level

What are the characteristics in a path forward that you look at say....I'd call that "solution" ?

There is no single solution. There are a wide range of things that could be partial solutions. Of course, a cure would be at the top of the list, but I don't see that happening any time soon. Being able to identify and track the disease, providing equipment and supplies to treat the victims, and steps to relieve the massive financial burden caused by lost wages and business would all be great partial solutions.
 
Capitalism holds solutions to all our problems is a given for right wingers. Everything has always been boiled down to "CAPITALISM GOOD --- SOCIALISM BAD", yet the only steps we are taking are things that the right has condemned as anti-American for years. Not a single capitalist idea in the batch . Why not? Surely some of the smart right wingers here have figured out several ways that capitalism can easily get us beyond this problem. Here's your chance. Show us how capitalism can solve this.
Been there done that.

Capitalism has been distorted and perverted since Reagan first said "Government is the problem", which was taken as gospel.

Real capitalists have a great respect for both its strengths and weaknesses, and they realize that (a) efficient and effective controls and regulations are a critical component of capitalism, not the bane of capitalism, and (b) there are things that capitalism is simply not equipped to do on a macro scale.

The phonies have talked themselves into a corner on this, bragging about Trump's economy as government spending exploded and the NY Fed poured half a TRILLION into markets to grease the system. Now, they're looking to the government to bail us out. Again.

Not much credibility with the phonies.
.

"Now, they're looking to the government to bail us out"
Actually, they're looking for those evil capitalists to bail us out...You see, BULLDOG there is no 'socialism' without capitalism.

I don't see the goal of profit getting us through this any time soon. If you do, then please list it. That's what this thread is about.

not sure what to make fun of you with first,,,your lack of knowledge as to what is right wing in this country or your lack of knowledge that its mostly the free market capitalism that is keeping us alive right now,,,
So, can't think of anything then?

The right wing believe all
Good Programs must be Capitalism
Bad Programs must be Socialist...

So Roads are needed, Roads are good. Therefore Roads are capitalist...

Hitler was bad, therefore Hitler must be socialist...

Also sunny days are capitalist and visit to the dentist in socialist...

Life is simple for these boys...

In truth life is a balance, and both capitalist and socialist are needed for an optimal society and getting that balance right is what creates great societies...
Unregulated Captialism is just as bad as Communism.

Regulated Capitalism and Social Democracy can be hard to tell apart the are so similar...
Basically. That's how dumb and ignorant the rightwingers are.
 
Government telling businesses when and how they can operate. Shelves emptying out at the stores. Trading your job for a thousand dollar stipend.

We should have more of this according to the left.

Gee, why isn't capitalism preventing it - instead of begging for corporate welfare - again?

Because this is what happens when you open the public treasury to private enterprise & individuals. They will continuously want more until they bleed to whole system dry. It's why every socialist country inevitably fails.
