Socialism doesn't work SoS. All socialist governance does is enrichen a nomenklatura class at the expense of the rest of society.

No one else seems to have a good idea, and capitalism seems to be doing one hell of a job at solving the problem. Give actual socialism a shot, and we'll see what happens. (SOCIALISM, not USSR mix of bullsh**t, or Chinese "Communism" AKA capitalism)

Look at Sweden, run by socialists. Theyre doing horribly with thier 18th overall GDP per capita, 4th overall Human Development Index ranking, its on track plan to be the first oil free country, and its 25 on the Gini economical equality scale (0 being perfect equality, 100 being perfect inequality)

You should probably mention that the same Sweden is also looking at contracting out public services to the private sector and deregulating the economy to let more big business grow.

1) Government contracts are still government regulated (most of the time)

2) Just because somethings working doesnt mean political pressure wont put an end to it.
