    Isn’t the point that those things are common decency and explicitly not yet Socialism?

      They are both common decency AND socialistic programs.

      But you might be right, perhaps (especially back then) Truman wasn’t really going for the second half of that. I somewhat retract, or at least acknowledge being less certain about, my prior response.🙂
