Hello Bulletbob,
America is going to be fabulous. You'll see. We should have no worries at all about slipping into socialism. We have already had plenty of socialist policies, and guess what? We can have that right alongside our capitalism. America is the best of both worlds. We use socialism for the things we should, and everything else is left wide open for capitalism.
Social Security is one of the greatest successes of America, and even as that has become an accepted part of the nation, the stock market has never been higher.
Before Social Security elder Americans with no strong savings or family support simply became destitute beggars on the street. It was a national shame and a disgrace. We fixed that with socialism.
We never have to choose between socialism and capitalism. We can have both. We already do. And it is fine.
Wanna make America greater?
What we should do is enact the

The right to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation;
The right of every farmer to raise and sell his products at a return which will give him and his family a decent living;
The right of every businessman, large and small, to trade in an atmosphere of freedom from unfair competition and domination by monopolies at home or abroad;
The right of every family to a decent home;
The right to adequate medical care and the opportunity to achieve and enjoy good health;
The right to adequate protection from the economic fears of old age, sickness, accident, and unemployment;
The right to a good education."
