I have explained in this space before how "Newsweek" reached the logical conclusion, expressed on its February 16th, 2009 cover "We Are All Socialists Now." We are all socialists in this country who support public education, state funded universities, government-run hospitals, Medicare, Social Security, classic socialistic programs that have sensibly found their way into the American economy.

The truth is in this country, we’re all socialists to varying degrees and we’re all capitalists. If the Castro Brothers allowed "Newsweek" to publish a Cuban edition, which they never will, its cover this week would surely be "We’re All Capitalists Now."
