GOP’s turn to socialism
The latest socialist Farm Program has been approved by the House is now headed to the president’s desk for his signature - yet another sign of a government program to control and maintain our almost “free markets.”
This is a good thing and a long-established role of the federal government, along with “protecting our shores, establishing the rights of contractual and binding agreements” between individuals, organizations, and businesses.” It is also true of multiple agreements between countries such as NATO, NAFTA, League of Nations, Marshall Program and other cooperative international, nay world agreements, to offer various processes for protection and cooperation.
I want to give a round of applause to Republicans like Cathy McMorris Rodgers as she and her fellow Republicans join lockstep with the Progressive Party as more of our nation’s leader acknowledge and embrace more and more ideals of democratic socialism.
