Trump leans pretty socialist himself. He wants universal healthcare also and has said that many times. He's not a detail person, so who knows what this means for sure, but we do know he will at best not touch social security or other entitlements. The other question we should think about is if on top of economic socialism are we also headed toward a fascistic surveillance police state as well. In the UK a new domestic spying law just went into effect that gives local police the right to check in real time what any person is looking at on the internet with no judicial oversight. This is the kind of thing Soviet bloc countries only wished they could have done back in the day and now it's happening in a supposedly free country. Heaven help us if someone like Rudy Giuliani gets the homeland security director job. Undoubtedly he'd think something like this would be great for America.
