Sorry! I missed all the fun here.
It is interesting to see my fellow Khmers repeat a certain political
party’s talking points. The problem with talking points is that t
hey
sound good, but when you dig just an inch deeper, you will see that
the argument falls apart in to smothering.
For example: The socialist agenda will not work in America.
Having lived in Cambodia under Pol Pot and traveled almost all over
the world including many European countries, I know the different
between Communist and Socialist. The statement above is nothing more
than an embarrass talking point.
The term “socialist” has to do much a retribution policy. It ma
kes
sense the call Obama’s policy a socialist policy if he raises tax
from
the rich and retributions the wealth to the poor.
Let’s take a look at this point alone.
Among the poor in the US are those who depend on government programs
known here in California as CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, and Food Stamps.
Other states may have different name for these programs.
Since the passage of the welfare reform law in August of 1996,
welfare
fund changed from welfare as an entitlement to a block grant. This
means federal government allocates a block grant to be divided among
all states. In May of 2009, President Obama sent the 2010 budget of
roughly $3.7 trillion to Congress in which contained a $16.5 billion
annual block grant to the states for welfare.
This amounts to about 0.04% of our national budget. The socialist
argument is laughable if one takes a look at how much Congress
approved for Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). In the fall of
2008, Congress approved $700 billion for TARP of which $375 billion
was spent. Just GM and Chrysler received about $80 billion.
When you look at this issue, this talking point simply does not hold
water. The redistribution of wealth is not to poor but to the rich.
This policy is nothing resembled to any socialist policy.
We Khmer have to be smarter than that.
With respect,
Jay
