Civil welfare, no. Corporate welfare, yes. One of the key defining characteristics of fascism is the blurring of the lines between government and business. One believes that the current government-driven push towards deregulation and the special treatment given to business can be viewed as initial qualifiers under this definition.

Besides, didn't you notice that the Bush Administration is making overt attempts to tear apart civil welfare, public health care, Social Security, unemployment benefits, etc. etc.?
Government regulation is also a hallmark of fascism. And I don't think that adding prescription drug benefits to an already bloated
budget qualifies as dismantling our welfare system.
