If you really want 'Socialism'...

Then nationalize some of our poorly performing industries, like automakers, oil companies and most importantly - the airlines. We need deserve better than to be held hostage by the whim of some greedy and stupid Capitalists who are not Americans first. Israel has one properly managed airline that has the best security, El Al, unlike our own that is sketchy at best - even with the TSA taking over from the $8 an hour high school drop-outs that let 9-11 happen. Why do we trust greedy people to do what is right for our country? Force of habit perhaps? Or, an acknowledgement that the alternative is potentially worse than we can ever imagine?
Maybe we could have one well run national automobile company that made a wide selection of cars for all needs, small cheap ones for the poor folk and roomier ones for those who can afford them, but they'd all be 'green' and super-fuel-efficient.
And the one well run national airline, they'd be able to plan things, schedules, hiring of pilots and buying jet fuel from the government, because instead of duplication of efforts and wasting of resources, we'd be able to preserve pension plans and avoid layoffs.
