Is the US headed towards a socialist government?

Hi,

That is to say, he (and many others, of course) diverted the course of US government from a Jeffersonian experiment to the nation you see before you.

You really should edit that to read, "from a failed Jeffersonian experiment". The state of the States under the Articles of Confederation is yet another part of American history which is glossed over in American classrooms.
