Why is the United States going to Socialism?

[mud]

Socialism has proven to fail time and time again in other countries, it doesn't work. So why are we going to it? Better yet why are the people letting this happen? People seem to be forgetting how this country became great. Markets should decide what business does not the government, otherwise we will have Communism there is NO other way to spin it!
Romare, I am indeed talking about the finiancial bail outs, which Bush pushed, however it seems that voters are voting for more. If peoplle hated Bush and his policies so much, then why vote for Obama, when he is continuing Bushes policy for bail outs, he's doing more of the same, but in a worse way. Obama also said that he was going to stop Pork Spending, not in this Sitmulus Bill i guess.
Emeriles, You have no idea what your talking about, you're about to OD on the kool-aide. You need to know your facts.
