Fascist, Socialist, Communist, ... Statist, Corporatist ... Whatever!

SEE HERE I may have put this up before ... I don't remember and I'm too lazy to check so here it is again. Is Barack Obama a socialist? That question seems to get answered by many in the affirmative and by some in the negative and all in all who cares? Policies are more important than labels as this piece points out and the resolution is that all the statists are for big government because government is supposed to cure all ills and set everything right. Then there are those of us who like that on balance government is more often the problem than the solution. Sure there are things that government is needed for, but it is far from being a panacea. Government is a poor solution for almost everything, even those things where it is the only solution. If you don't believe that then you're something like a socialist, at least you're on the same page.
