Even socialists are laughing at the idea of Obama being called socialist. -----Original Message----- From: Micheal Espinola Jr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 2:21 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT: Re: So... how is the recession affecting your buying decisions? roflwaffes. Our economy is already well socialized at the state and federal levels. Edging it to be more (hopefully only for a short term) or less for the welfare of a very hurting country is not necessarily a bad thing - for the good of the country. Not that you are, but to brand him a socialist, or any ideas he is pushing as "socialism", is silly IMO. Our economy is a blend of capitalist and socialist ideals. -- ME2 On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 2:32 PM, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Probably not a great day to retort on this, but you will either agree > or hunt me down.. > > 2009 is going to be a bad year in the economy.
