Sadly, we don't have such a thing in the US, what we have is a system that is all about making profits. I'm not against making profits at all, mind you, but there's a point at which you have to stand back and wonder where 25% of the GDP is really going. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

They are in the midst of several major changes that they estimate will take YEARS to implement. Yes, they have health care, but they also have serious problems funding it. They are finding it to be far more costly than they expected, and they have high unemployment so tax collections are small -- not large enough to keep up with the health care demands. And, Germany does not hide the fact that it is a socialist economy. In a free market economy, the government is not supposed to provide anything, everything should come from the market. Obviously, a pure free market can't serve everybody, or won't. Our system can stand some work, no question on that. The question is, should we fix the parts that don't work so well, or turn the whole thing over to government and bring the parts that do work well down to the level of the parts that don't -- thereby levelling out the system?

Assuming that the car hasn't always behaved like that and that "turning the wheels" means turning the steering wheel, check: Lug nut torque, make sure the rear wheels are properly seated and tires inflated. Suspension mounts, bushings, springs - play in a part that controls lateral movement of the rear end, crushed or hardened bushings., etc. Look for rips in the CV joint boots, grease on the underbody, etc. check the bolts on the companion flanges for the shafts Check diff fluid level Assuming that you mixed the proper amount of LSD additive, I wouldn't add more. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Obviously, a pure free > market can't serve everybody, or won't. The people in Germany had a hand in choosing the system, and this is what they preferred. It is similar in France, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands, etc. Socialism in this sense has nothing to do with communism. If Americans wanted communism, they would have voted for Obama. |
