    It is good republicans keep calling everything “communist” it now has no meaning

  2. Luboš Motl Says:

    Well, they call it “communist” because most things that the Democrat Party is doing these days are communist – and unlike you, I know very well what this adjective means.

    Unfortunately, despite the increased frequency of communist decisions, the meaning of the word “communist” is as dramatic as it has been in the past.

  3. Gregg Pennington Says:

    Apparently our democratic liberal ” friends” intend queering it for
    all United States citizens , regardless of whether they drink the
    Socialist Koolaid or not! I hope the same individuals can restrain
    their complaints later when the chickens come to roost on their fence ! This Is A BAD Bill,long term or short ! Gregg

  4. James Gilliam Says:

    Socialism is coming to America because there is no other choice. The so-called free market system has failed. It optimizes around money and not environment, people, or doing the right thing. American capitalism cannot create the number of jobs needed — technology is now destroying jobs and making our lives easier. As a result, over time there will be less and less work. One cannot exist in America with income and that generally means a job. Marx predicted that capitalism would be self-destruct — it clearly is. Embrace socialism or the result will be civil unrest and revolution.

  5. Jack C. Says:

    I suggest that James should move to North Korea because they have the system there that he loves so much.
