This satirical article comparing the United States to France is spot on. Since studying government in college, I have always been surprised at the rhetoric that comes from many about how the US is the best 'free market' in the world. Every major industry in the United States has been repeatedly propped up by taxpayer dollars since the 1930s. We've been tipping more and more towards a socialist state, but people haven't ever acknowledged it until the past week.
On the news shows the pundits are now calling this place the "People's Democratic Republic of the United States". It's too bad this set of blinders has resulted in last minute scrambles that are mere triage on catastrophic injury.
