Said the frog as he jumped into the pot. If you had the faintest glimmer as to the profound irony of your post you'd be a hundred times smarter than you imagine yourself to be.

Not to mention the fact that Hoot took you to school about Cuba and Venezuela, and all you could come back with was to reassert your false liberal doctrine. Seriously, other than vector who do you think you really fool on here?

What do you mean?  Your amigo is begging for globalism.  I just wanted him to know what you say about it.  

Took me to school? Are you saying the US didn't economically intervene in either of those nations?

You cannot name a nation that the US wronged in such manner. Socialism, rammed home by Fidel Castro who was in bed with Nikita khrushchev, took down Cuba.     https://images.app.goo.gl/EBuVaRKCXwqvSovi9

Venezuela went exactly the same route with exactly the same result.

Wait, are you saying the US didn't place economic sanctions on both nations?
An embargo on Cuba?  

Right or wrong, those sanctions will affect the success or failure of a country's economy.  If the US surrounds Denmark and prohibits all its allies from trading with that nation then you will see a successful socialist nation fail. 

In fact, half of Europe has large state-sponsored social programs.  If we are so antisocialism, why haven't we embargoed the entire continent?

No I am saying Fidel Castro was a ruthless dictator who oppressed his people. And I would offer that you just don't rise to a level high enough to understand world affairs,  and ought to be doing his job at the unemployment office instead of blogging.

Fidel Castro was a dictator who oppressed his people:  no one was arguing that.   For that matter, there have been plenty of authoritarians that are capitalists.  Your friend Putin would fit into that category.   

The unemployment office could really use my help these days with all the folks out of work this past year because of the Trump flu and the Trump economy, but, unfortunately, they don't pay enough.  God bless them.

It seems our resident curmudgeons are in the minority.

A majority of Americans support President Biden's proposed American Families Plan, a $1.8 trillion measure he is asking Congress to fund to help working people receive the benefits they need as the country tries to move on from the coronavirus pandemic. 
Fifty-eight percent of voters surveyed say they support the package, according to a new Morning Consult poll released this week. Among party lines, 86 percent of Democrats who responded say they back the plan, compared with 54 percent of independents and just 25 percent of Republicans.
