Trump trolls Democrat support for socialism
Andrew Malcolm:
How many people are you willing to kill to impose the job-killing agenda of the Green New Deal? Socialism has always come with a human cost be it the millions killed by Stalin and Mao or the people killed by death panels in Western countries that have adopted socialized medicine where care is denied for various reasons.
How many people are they willing to starve to impose socialism. Socialism lacks the efficiencies of capitalism in distributing goods and services. Socialism is why Venezuela has empty shelves in its markets. The task of determining how many eggs and slices of bacon are needed in New York City is beyond the ability of any central authority. Capitalism distributes the right amount by adjusting pricing to match demand. The socialist have no such mechanism and if they tried they would fail. Multiply that times all the available products and services and the task cannot be solved even with supercomputers.
Note that most of the fat people in Venezuela are in the governing elites. Clearly, Maduro has not been dodging empanadas. Trump correctly describes socialism as a power grab for those elites.
How President Trump helped divide Democrats by fanning the flames of socialismThere is a split in the party on the issue. I would add some additional questions for Democrats who support socialism and the Green New Deal.
