Someone from the Bernie campaign PLEASE read this! Please be bold in defining Social Democracy! They have tried to make Socialism a bad word for far too long! Explain how America had a command economy throughout this century, and how it benefits the public as a whole. Explain how our government helped our industrial and manufacturing sectors advance national goals by establishing straightforward standards and rules. That is why America is great. Our government was able to harness our collective strengths and rein in the power of the unfettered market in order to make our country great.
