And a lot of the banking/financial industry.
And he has his eyes on the healthcare industry.
Together, they make up a BIG chunk of the economy. What... maybe 30%? Plus the federal government already is a huge part of the economy.
This esplosive growth of the government is an un-American intrusion into pour businesses and is FUNDAMENTALLY anti-freemarket.
There's been nothing like it since Attlee took over from Churchill after WW2 - and nationalized about 60% of the British economy. RUINING IT FOR THREE DECADES!
It's costing us a fortune already - what Obama has given Detroit $50 Billion so far, maybe more, and their STILL going bankrupt!

"CLEMENT ATTLEE OBAMA".All Obama's policies will do is make the goods and services these industries offer WORSE.
It's the sovietization of America. He's trying to Chavezify us.
We mustn't let him.
DISSENT ACCORDINGLY.
yes, clement attlee nationalised the coal and transport industries, and the bank of england. He also set up a national health service, gave independence to india, palestine and israel and increased the size of our welfare state. He is britain's most successful prime minister and after churchill, britains most popular!
ReplyDeleteyour confusing social democracy with communism, thats very ignorant of you. Attlee was a social democrat who reformed britains welfare state and society in general, dismatling the empire and establishing the commonwealth, he gave us a NHS and nationalised SOME industries to pay for it!
ReplyDeleteAttlee wasnt a communist! Chavez isnt really a socialist, just a corrupt populist!
he destroyed the british economy - as socialism does everywhere and every time.
ReplyDeletewake up!
reagan 1964:
ReplyDeleteit doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed to the—or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property? And such machinery already exists. The government can find some charge to bring against any concern it chooses to prosecute. Every businessman has his own tale of harassment. Somewhere a perversion has taken place. Our natural, unalienable rights are now considered to be a dispensation of government, and freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.
SOCIALISM HAS FAILED IN NORTH KOREA AND ZIMBABWE AND CUBA AND IN THE USSR AND RED CHINA.
IT BANKRUPTED GREECE AND SPAIN.
NEITHER, GREECE OR SPAIN HAD "2 UNFUNDED WARS" OR "DEREGULATION FOR THE GREEDY" OR "BUSH TAX CUTS".
WHAT HAS BANKRUPTED THEM AND IS BANKRUPTING THE REST OF SOUTHERN EUROPE AND BRITAIN AND THE USA IS SOCIALISM.
IF YOU HAVE AN OPEN MIND AND ANY INTELLIGENCE AND PRINCIPLES YOU WILL READ THIS THOROUGHLY.
ReplyDeleteAND LEARN SOMETHING:

How exactly did attlee mess up the economy? He saved britains economy! Cripps reorganised the economy, making it more efficent and leading to an economic boom in the 1950's!
ReplyDeletethe inevitable toll of the socialism and nationalism attlee put in place culminated in the crises and collapse in the 1970.s
ReplyDeletemuch like what greece faces now - and spain and italy and portugal and every other socialist state.
compare east germant to west:
same language, culture and geography - yet east germany became poorer and poorer as it became less free --- while west germany became the economic powerhouse of europe.
obama's policies are having the same effect on the usa economy as these polices had in east germany and attlee's britain.
NOTE:
neither greece or spain or portugal - or east germany or the ussr and red china - had bush tax cuts or "2 unfunded wars" or "gop deregulation for the greedy 1%".
the economic disasters were all caused by SOCIALISM -which reduces liberty and therefore reduces the prosperity, the economic growth which ONLY liberty produces.
as obama destroys our economy, he also achieves another horrifying result:
the weakening of the us military and our ability to defend the free world.
which will only embolden putin and china and tehran and the muslim brotherhood.
so the world will get more dangerous as the usa gets poorer.
it's a double whammy.
NOTE:
the NHS is a health disaster as are the socialist schemes in the rest of europe.
IN FACT, the usa has a better longer average lifespan and much lower morbidity rates for ALL major diseases.
especially when you equalize for racial/ethnic differences:
blacks high shorter life spans than white - dues to genetic diseases, and they lower the usa life span.

SO:
WAKE UP!
i used to be leftist.
i saw the light.
you can too!
your comparing Attlee's government with east germany? thats like comparing Ronald Reagan to general Pinochet, they both class themselves as privatising conservatives, but one was a elected leader, the other was a dictator and a tyrant! your making VAST generalisations here!
ReplyDeleteBTW the economic difficulties were not caused by the Attlee government! they were caused by economic mismanagement in the 1960's and early 70's and by overintensive union action!
Also im not a leftist, communist, stalinist or a socialist, im a social democrat!
