    Retro,
    Obama is a socialist populist put now he is going down the road of been fascist.
    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    Eh. He has elements of socialism, capitalism, corporatism blah-de-blah da. Let's not get too hung up on labels.

    To generalise: The government is nationalising the economy at an unprecedented rate. There is a HUGE shift in cash from private hands (from taxpayers and/or the value of their money) to state hands (and back into certain private hands, albeit ones the state decides ). Already about 70% GDP in just over 4 months.

    What are the effects of this mass redistribution of wealth from citizens to state and elite bankers (among others)?
