Socialism is not an all or nothing form of governance, the disease is usually progressive.  Comfortable at first and then quietly segueing into deadly.  One of its symptoms is its inability to distribute resources in a correct, efficient, and timely manner.  Management of ARRA funding is just one current piece of evidence of this truth.  I would redraw the excellent cartoon below with more belly-up floating frogs, but you get the picture.  (H/T to RR reader)
