There you go putting words in my mouth again.
I'm opposed to real socialism and your redefinition of it.
Great.
So talk to your Republicans in Congress. I'm sure that McConnell will liquidate the University of Kentucky, and privatize all US roads tomorrow.
You don't get it. Republicans are in charge of---to borrow Trump parlance----sh*thole States that can't pay their own way without handouts and socialism. So they tell voters like you that government is bad with their left hand....and cut massive checks for their home States with their right hands.
McConnell in the last big spending bill a few months ago bragged about how he sent $1Billion in handouts to his home state.
We're you outraged? Hell no! Instead, you're still mad at Hillary and Obama, as if they're still in charge.

Mitch McConnell: “I saw a commercial from my likely opponent indicating that I was all that was wrong with Washington. So I have a question for her here as we go into the new year:
In what way would Kentucky have been better off without any of these items that I put in the year-end spending bill?” McConnell said.
Your party is taking you for a ride. And you're buying everything they're selling.

Democrat progressives have shoved HUGE socialist programs down our throats in multiple forms changing the culture to fit their socialist agenda. After 4 decades do you think its remotely possible to extricate ourselves and go back to a culture before Social security medicare and The great Society,
I asked you this when Bush was in charge. You told me it was an "accident" that Bush didn't cut entitlements.
And here we are again, Republicans and Trump had total control of government for Trump's first 2 years. Did he cut entitlement? Nope. Instead? He increased them, pumping money to his favored voters. Billions in cash to farmers. Do you care?
Are you and your fellow "small government" Tea Partiers protesting like you did when a little D was in the White House?
Shocker, no. Tea Party is nowhere to be found. Because you and your buddies don't REALLY care about small government. What you want is someone with a R by his name in the White House. So long as you have that? You wave any and all spending through. Hell, you're bragging at how great the economy is with all that Big Government deficit spending! You couldn't be any happier!
And how do you handle anyone who points this out? You either call us insane, or you bring up Obama, and tell us that Obama did it, too. Forgetting, of course, that you despised Obama....so why are you bringing him up without being angry at Trump?

Liberals exist on dependence and they built a government that fosters and enhances that dependency.
So why didn't Trump shut it all down? He and Republicans were in charge for 2 years. They didn't fix immigration reform, and they increased the size of government. More socialism. More handouts. If you actually want to go through the bills they signed, I'm happy to do it.
And yet you adore Trump. It doesn't make any sense.
Old Salt put out a plan two years ago for Immigration Reform that made perfect sense to me and most of the other posters on the board. Trump didn't do that.. Gee, do you think it's because Trump benefits from illegal workers? How many illegal workers do you think Trump has employed over the last 40 years?
And yet you adore him. Trump "pretends" to want to seal the border and fix immigration----and you fall for it.
