Free except peoples wages suck, everyone is debt, and there's really no chance anyway can ever save enough to retire comfortable. Healthcare costs are skyrocketing and gasoline is probably twice as much as it should.
Oh wait, you mean "free" in the sense the CEOs and billionaires can gouge the American people without any consequence. Got it.

Don't worry, wealth inequality is so extreme the dollar will have to collapse to nothing in value first.

Socialism is good when it builds a commonwealth. Not so much when it goes to bailout banks and trillion per year on the military.

[T]he useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of the Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get disillusioned, they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made the point: never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. [...] They serve a purpose only at the stage of destabilization of a nation. For example, your leftists in the United States: all these professors and all these beautiful civil rights defenders. They are instrumental in the process of the subversion only to destabilize a nation. When their job is completed, they are not needed any more. They know too much. Some of them, when they get disillusioned, when they see that Marxist-Leninists come to power—obviously they get offended—they think that they will come to power. That will never happen, of course. They will be lined up against the wall and shot.
1: Cover with ridi-
cule all of the valid traditions in your opponent's country.
2. Implicate their leaders in criminal affairs and turn them over to
the scorn of their populace at the right time;
3. Disrupt the work of their government by every means;
4. Do not shun the aid of the lowest and most despicable individu-
als of your enemy's country.
5. Spread disunity and dispute among the citizens.
6. Turn the young against the old.
7. Be generous with promises and rewards to collaborators and
accomplices.
But it is possible to conquer this nation using the
preconditions 1 have described, created by Americans themselves,
and diverting America's attention away from these mortally
dangerous preconditions. The situation is similar to a house, the
owners of which have stored explosives and inflammable materials
INSIDE. To destroy this house the enemy does not have to intrude
physically into it. It is enough to start a fire next door and wait till the
wind blows in the right direction. Meanwhile the enemy may "throw
in some great ideas" for the owners to argue about in order to take
their attention off the actual fire: environmental protection, gay libe-
ration or emancipation of house pets are the types of non-critical
arguments that divert America's attention from the real danger.
Smart people would notice the fire and remove the inflammable
objects and materials BEFORE the house catches the fire. Useful
idiots will keep arguing about whether it is constitutional or not to

Not surprising that the FREEST country in the world would have the LARGEST target on it's back from the "World communist system".
Obviously outright war won't do, you need to subvert from within.
I just hope there are still enough people around that are both strong enough and have the conviction to ride us over this next "hump" and right the ship for another few hundred years.
