Every state should have a state bank. Banks also need better regulation. We need to reinstitute the safeguards the Republicans destroyed.

Then we may need to consider nationalizing one of them. Won't we always need to be making tanks? Maybe not. We have the billion dollar industrial military complex that will gladly charge us $200 for a hammer. Keep it private. Do we need to ensure that we will always have an automobile industry?

Theory or not, it's all about safety net. So Britain needs to start taxing the rich again. So what. Big wah! So do we!

We're still waiting to get trickled on by the billionaires. The socialist democracies around the globe are better off than us, mainly because they didn't buy into the foolishness. Germany, which is considerably more socialist than America is in financial difficulties because so much of their economy is based on exports, but they aren't panicing because of their social safety net. It is indeed a theory, a proven theory. I'm guessing theory doesn't preclude working examples.

If that system works so well, why is Britain almost broke? Have they mismanaged? Didn't understand the concept? Or does the concept only work in theory?
