The US already has social institutions which I'll put under the category of promoting the general welfare. I'm sure we will never see eye to eye on this, but I don't see the US going the communist route ever, but I am seeing a significant portion moving in a Fascist direction which is every bit as bad, if not worse. Unlike many here, I don't view socialism as an outright evil, but as a needed aspect of any government to serve it's population to mutual benefit. Of course, there is a sensible middle ground, but the word shouldn't carry the stigmatism it gets as if it's the same as communism.
