I'm not making an argument for anything.  I'm just joking that if the government started funding the extraction companies the GOP would love to have bigger government involvement and the use of funds for it.  And I didn't think about war bonds (something we went without the last couple wars), but everyone contributing to a common cause works for me whether that is "socialism" or not.
