Senate Republicans block vote on student loan interest rates

Yes I do understand what socialism is and the government loaning money to make a level playing field is socialism. If the banks want to make the loans with no government backing fine, but not the tax payer.

 

Tell me what sin is causing you all to quarrel.

 

Socialism is really an economic system that forces the redistribution of resources.

Democracy and a republic are forms of government. The United States of America is a democratic-republic. A democracy in the sense that we elect our Congress by popular vote, and a republic in the sense that the Congress represents us. We also elect the President indirectly. I am in a minority, but I like the electoral college, even when it does not go my way, and the popular vote is a different result.

 

Simple explaination:
Democracy = rule by majority

Republic = Rule by law

We elect the officials who are to follow the law (i.e. the Constitution). Benjamin Franklin is said to have been asked by a woman what are you giving us and he said a republic Maam but it is up to you to keep it.

We haven't accomplished that very well with either party, it has become more and more rule by the majority rather than rule by law.

That is a good way to look at it. We have moved more towards a democracy since our founding. State legislatures used to elect US Senators. I personally think there should be stricter qualifications to be electors in the electoral college.

 

Just a side note, I like your signature.

 

Against it. Have no idea what this means.

Classes are small enough

Very vague, and who determines this?

The public school system is not capable of doing this as things stand with the current left wing agenda.

This is the parents job.

If socialism is seeking these things they have a completely different view of what each of these should be and conservatives do. I do not trust them.

Now that I have answered your questions meant to distract from the reason I posted that address the real issue being addressed here.
