Which country manages its taxes better, the United States or Canada?

Canada-most of its taxes pay for their health-care program and other social services.
United States-My taxes pay towards the interest on my gigantic national debt, and to pay for the other things we have we borrow money. The lion's share
Canada, obviously. We could also have had balanced budgets for the last few years, as we had when Clinton left office. Clinton had budget surpluses. (Clinton used the same accounting methods that Bush later used.)
Bush however insisted

We beat the Soviet Union, we can beat Canada. If you like it so much then i'd advise you to move.

Too socialist - not socialist enough or just the right amount of socialism ?

The estimated population of the United States is 305,045,882
so each citizen's share of this debt is $34,661.73.

The above is just one level of the citizens debt - State debt personal debt
What the many who have been taught by a brainwash machine to fear the word socialism fail to recognize is that we collectively own what could be called the commons. We all own the national parks, the waterways,our highway system,we are protected by police,military,fire

Too dead, not dead enough, or just right? Same thing applies to this ridiculous question. Any amount of socialism is too much. Socialism goes against the American ideal of getting what you earn and being able to do with what you earn what you choose

Depression is inevitable! Destroying the US dollar with this bail out will not help! Opinions?

Bailing out private enterprise by our govt is illegal, plain and simple. It is against the Constitution. How our Senators and Congressmen can consider breaking the law at the President's urgings is beyond me.
The bailout CANNOT help!
Your theory about the fate of the dollar has no grounding in reality. By bailing these companies out, the world will be less anxious about the dollar, causing more people to invest in the US and more people to offer credit, increasing the amount of money
