A move to socialism

The liberal administration in Washington is now proposing federal regulation of subways and light rail. What next? If recent regulation of the auto industry, finance and industry and the ongoing attempt to regulate and control our health care aren’t a move toward socialism, I don’t know what is. Oh wait!
Actually I think the government already has some control of health care. Just try getting vaccinated for H1N1 if you don’t fall into one of the government’s definitions of a high risk group as determined by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), a branch of our government. We already know that the government has our best interests at heart, don’t we? There’s a lesson to be learned here. Be careful what you vote for. You might just get it.
