Margaret Thatcher on Socialism

The link: http://www.margaretthatcher.org/speeches/displaydocument.asp?docid=102953

So what did Ms. Thatcher say?

" I would much prefer to bring them down as soon as possible. I think they've made the biggest financial mess that any government's ever made in this country for a very long time, and Socialist governments traditionally do make a financial mess. They always run out of other people's money. It's quite a characteristic of them. They then start to nationalise everything, and people just do not like more and more nationalisation, and they're now trying to control everything by other means. They're progressively reducing the choice available to ordinary people. Look at the trouble now we're having with choice of schools. Of course parents want a say in the kind of education their children have. " (emphasis added)

Boy, that sounds exactly like what's going on in the United States doesn't it? But, believe it or not, but Ms Thatcher wasn't talking about our current situation. That interview took place on 5-FEB-1976!!! And she was talking about the Socialist Labour Party.

But she's described Barack Hussein Obama's administration perfectly, hasn't she?
