America Is Becoming a Social Democracy

[OfTheCross]

First, some nomenclatural clarity. “Social democracy” is not “democratic socialism,” even if many professed partisans of the latter seem to really want the former. Democratic socialism is socialism—the public ownership or effective control of economic resources—with a human face. Social democracy allows markets to flourish but uses tax and spending policies to finance the kinds of social goods promised in the American Families Plan—free universal education, child support, family and medical leave, and access to health care (which Biden has promised to enhance in a separate bill). The plan would achieve many of these goods through tax credits rather than the direct subsidies used in much of Northern Europe—a distinctively American twist on the social democratic formula.

Our Reagan if he can pull this off

He wont pull it off because our politics are awful. What will happen is the Dems will negotiate against themselves like they did w the ACA. Like the ACA it will be a half measure where it is significantly better, but doesnt rise to meet the challenge.

The the GOP will attack it w BS propaganda and say "see it doesnt work!" and that will be the narrative in the media.


Because... America.

It's literally the only way this country won't be torn apart in the next 20 years.
