The great tragedy is that a little Socialism in controlled amounts is a good thing. It takes a lot of pressure off private business and the nonprofit sector because it provides goods and services to people that the Free Market can't or won't touch becuase there's no money in their pockets. Unfortunately, the Fascists who run the Republican Party view such provisions of baseline humanitarian standards as a BAD thing. They believe the Free Market should have the freedom to ignore those at the bottom of the barrel, or those in need of temporary aid. They simplistically expect those problems to get jobs and one day become prosperous enough to profit from, or just go away.
But if you remember life in the last ten years, Fascism hasn't worked all that well, either.
