I wish I had more time to throw it together, but I'm sort of playing hookey, not doing what I should to write it up in the first place.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm disappointed at the knee jerk reactions. Socialistic?

Seriously?

Like I said there, how do people think that rural areas in the US finally got electricity? Or all those dams in the 1930s were built?

And I'll give my consent to any government that does not deny a man a living wage-Billy Bragg

I think the socialistic response was trying to anticipate the GOP chorus of negativity. That's exactly what they'd say, and they'd slag of the hoover dam too.

If it comes from a Dem it's just wrong.

I thought "socialistic" was snark, but DKos always surprises me...
