Are We Really All Socialists Now? Newsweek Seems to Think So
Monday, February 16th, 2009I missed this Newsweek article, somehow: We Are All Socialists Now:
The interview was nearly over. on the Fox News Channel last Wednesday evening, Sean Hannity was coming to the end of a segment with Indiana Congressman Mike Pence, the chair of the House Republican Conference and a vociferous foe of President Obama’s nearly $1 trillion [...]
