With the new Obama administration's left leaning policies, some citizens say that the U.S. is slowly turning to socialist ideals in a time of economic crisis. With the abandonment of the free-market principles (even by the Bush Administration) and the billions of dollars of bailouts to banks and the auto industry, some say the shift away from capitalism is becoming slowly evident. Some nations have even warned the U.S. not to move too far left such as Vladamir Putin who reminded them of the negative turns that the former Soviet Union took.
Not only are pro-capitalists (citizens) concerned over the amount of regulation by the government but they're also concerned over the amount of control by the government over private enterprise (with GM being the recent one in the news). Do you agree or disagree that the U.S. is moving away from capitalism and turning to socialism? If you agree, do you think it's a positive or negative turn? If you disagree then how do you account for all the government regulation that is contrary to capitalist principles.
