I don't know, maybe it would be different, maybe there are other things. I was focusing more on the economic side of things.

lol among that piece of brilliant propaganda entitled "here are all the good things" about Socialism ...
You also forgot:
Entrenched power in government with little hope to change it.
Increased Nepotism, a newer and more distinct line between poor and rich.
Permanent class of poor (well, increased government dependence anyway)
Increased Federal power, decreased State power (kill the Republic)
Governmental control of the private sector and the economy (yep, the same folks who couldn't run their own cafeteria want to drill your oil and reap the profits)
As much of a right-winger as I can be, I don't see us going 100% socialist. I see us getting feared to death with gullobal warming and being punished for being successful, or being guilted into giving up our prosperity. I see Obamessiah pulling a "great society" and it will be praised to high heaven even though it is why the
real and actual great depression lasted longer.
