The problem lays in the very definition itself which is, "social ownership of the means of production" and here's why:

What form of production has ever been started by a social collective where they put up their own money to start it? Please educate me if you know. The way that the 'social collective' ever owns the means of production is where a PRIVATE industry becomes nationalized. This is simply the government confiscation of an individuals (or a corporations) assets. Most often the owners are lucky to leave with their lives.

Socialism is not about creating....it is about overtaking..! It really is that simple. What's even more laughable is that the masses believe that if the government ceases control and ownership of an industry that THEY will get the benefits of it...HA HA HA HA HA how gullible these brainwashed souls are and the old adage of, "There is a sucker born every minute" has never been more true.

Note "Seasonally Adjusted"

It's winter in the north of America.

Not Global cooling. Not Global warming.

The snowfall is beautiful...and it melts within a day or so...maybe a week. And then another beautiful snow storm falls around us and we all greet each other and invite us collectively into the nearest kitchen for coffee and warm chocolate with marshmallows. Then go back out and deal with the snow. Not anything cooling or warming about this.....been doing it for my past 50 years....and it still makes us feel good to get together and deal with the snow.

Sometimes there are 3 or 5 or even 7 feet of snow here, and other years there are just dustings of snow. The Great Lakes froze completely for the first time in recorded history four years ago. The following year not one of them even showed any surface ice.

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump took a President's Day swipe at his predecessor, Barack Obama, as each sought credit Monday for the U.S. economy.

Mocking an earlier Obama tweet as a "con job," Trump blasted Obama for "now trying to take credit for the economic boom taking place under the Trump administration."

The strong robust U.S. economy – including the low 3.6% unemployment – is a central talking point for Trump on the campaign trail. Obama appeared to take a subtle dig with a tweet earlier Monday marking the 11th anniversary of the 2009 economic stimulus.

"Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history," Obama posted on Twitter.

Throughout the day, Democrats responded by praising Obama's tweet and arguing that Trump is reaping the benefits of the work his predecessor did. Republicans accused Obama of seeking credit for Trump's policies, an argument Trump echoed later.

"He had the WEAKEST recovery since the Great Depression, despite Zero Fed Rate & MASSIVE quantitative easing. NOW, best jobs numbers," Trump posted of Obama.

Trump has argued that his emphasis on reducing regulations and the 2017 tax bill has spurred economic growth.

Democrats noted that unemployment and stock prices began increasing under the Obama years as they bounced back from the Great Recession, a trend that continued into Trump's presidency. Trump loyalists pointed out that the unemployment rate is at its lowest point in decades while the stock market has been hitting record highs.

Democrats had an absolutely brutal day so far during the impeachment hearings.

Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who was supposed to be their star witness, not only had never met President Donald Trump, he seemed to have contradicted his prior testimony.

Previously, he testified that he did not know who the whistleblower was. But when asked about to whom he had spoken about the July 25th call, he testified that he had spoken to two people over “interagency policy” George Kent and an individual in the “intelligence community.”

House Intelligence Committee Chair Adam Schiff then cut him off to “protect the whistleblower,” seemingly making it clear that the person who Vindman spoke to was in fact the whistleblower.

Nunes: Did you discuss the July 25 call or July 26 call with anyone outside the White House?

Vindman: George Kent, and someone in the intelligence community I'm not going to name.

Schiff interrupts to "protect the whistleblower."

The problem? He previously testified that he did not know the identity of the whistleblower.

Schiff also claimed that he didn’t know the name of the whistleblower.

Yet they just both didn’t name this guy, because Schiff said, it was “to protect the whistleblower.”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) honed in on it more, and he pointed out how this shows that Adam Schiff is not telling the truth and “no one believes him” about not knowing the identity of the whistleblower.

Jim Jordan calls out Schiff and Vindman:

"I don't see how this is outing the whistleblower. The witness has testified that he does not know who the whistleblower is. You have said, even though no one believes you, you have said you don't know who the whistleblower is..."

But then Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-) put the cherry on top of the cake.

Rep. Ratcliffe searched all impeachment documents for the word "bribery" - he found nothing.@RepRatcliffe made a monster stack of testimony on his desk for effect.

Wow.

He noted on the Democrats had dispensed with accusing President Donald Trump of “quid pro quo” apparently assuming Americans were too stupid to understand what that meant and were going with the term “bribery” after they poll-tested that as a word that would resonate more.

He asked both witnesses, Jennifer Williams and Lt. Col Alexander Vindman, who testified today if they believed that what they had seen or knew about the Trump interaction was bribery. And both witnesses said, “No.”

In a case in which the Speaker has said is all about bribery, Ratcliffe said, not one of the witnesses has used the term. “None of them,” he said, dropping all the transcripts on the desk.

Ratcliffe noted there was only one reference to bribery in any of them and that was applied to Joe Biden, not Trump.

Case over.

UKRAINE MANIA -- Oh, you thought the news cycle was going to let you ease into your weekend? Think again, folks. On Thursday, we saw the most dramatic twist yet in the Ukraine scandal, with two associates of Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani arrested on campaign finance charges for allegedly trying to influence politicians with foreign sources of money. These men were key players in helping Giuliani dig up dirt on the Bidens in Ukraine and also successfully sought to have the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, removed from her post at the behest of an unnamed Ukrainian official.

Speaking of Yovanovitch … as of right now, she’s still scheduled to be deposed by House investigators later today, though there’s always a chance the Trump administration could intervene. Her testimony is considered even more critical now for Democrats’ impeachment probe, reports the AP’s Adam Geller and Clare Jalonick. Meanwhile, Democrats are now expected to hear next week from Gordon Sondland, the U.S. Ambassador to the European Union, who was blocked from testifying earlier this week, per Axios’ Alayna Treene.

Subpoena season continues … Democrats slapped a subpoena on the pair of Giuliani associates, Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, though they are likely to claim they can’t talk to Congress while they are under indictment. And Democrats also issued a subpoena to Energy Secretary Rick Perry for a series of documents related to his knowledge of Trump’s July 25 phone call with Ukraine, report Andrew, Kyle and

What else? … Former Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), who is trying to mount a congressional comeback, was also ensnared in the indictment, according to the Dallas Morning News. The Giuliani associates had contributed money to Sessions, who later wrote a letter to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking for Yovanovitch’s removal. (The associates also donated to Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who is returning the contributions, per Vice’s Cam Joseph.)

Frosty, you really need to grow up, but as we all know libs don’t do anything but act like children. The fact that YOU are immature and childish enough to call him rump tells everyone all they need to know about you. You are an immature little child that doesn’t like to loose. It is typical of cry baby libs to declare themselves the “winner”, it somehow makes them “feel good”. To be liberal means deny anything and everything, call names and drive people off. You are nothing but a pimple that needs to be popped.
