Honestly, I keep hearing about European socialism failing, and yet their economies are still going strong, their people are still being cared for quite highly, and they aren't falling the hell apart like the US is.
I'm a social progressive libertarian but when it comes to matters of trade and economics, I'm somewhere between socialist and socio-democrat. An absolute free market cannot exist. It is simply impossible. Without government interference, monopolies would dominate, those with money could easily crush any and all smaller competition or just as easily buy it out and completely negate any kind of marketplace competition that way. Fuck, just look at cellular service companies, or data service providers. Six of one; they're all complete crap and there's no real differences between them.
Also, Obamacare isn't failing, it's actually doing quite well. Its only real issues were the employer requirement (nixed mostly, delayed for the rest) and the website, and the website was shit because the republitards allowed next to nothing for its budget. They sabotaged the site, then acted like it was totally everyone else's fault. Fucking please. Only a tool would buy that bullshit. Saying the PPACA is a failure before it's even taken any kind of effect is not so much jumping the gun as much as it is stuffing itself into the cannon and launching itself over the gun.
