Assignment #8 C.Robertson

The article, "It's not about socialism, it's about rescuing capitalism" appeared in the Washington Post and was written by Harold Meyerson. This article explores the actions and opinions of socialists and capitalists in reference to the country's economic past and present. The fact presented in this article, that the Unites States has the highest healthcare costs in the world was startling, seeing as we have spent so much money rescuing banks and other businesses to keep them from plummeting. I think that we need to spend less time criticizing the socialist/capitalist aspects of how we are carrying out economic decisions and spend more time doing what is in the best interest of our country and stick with it, and that is the reason Obama is our president, because our country put faith in him to make the best p0ssible decisions for America. This article was directed towards citizens to present facts and project the author's opinions concerning capitalism and socialism.
