no, it isn't.
Hmm, can you explain to me how a government-run retirement system that everybody is FORCED to contribute to, and which pays many people more than they contributed to (disability, survivor benefits, etc) NOT an example of a socialized government program?
And if that's the case, then why is our health-care reform bill so "socialistic?"
Seems like a weird double-standard.
socialist *entitlement* program vs. "socialized government program"
