I must agree with Eugen.
from my knowledge of the US and how things work there, many laws, social
programs and regulations would be considered completely insane.
Affirmative Action?
Food Stamps? Grocery Socialism. After WW2 they were scrapped, here.

And, as Billk wrote, in many way the US have a form or Corporate
Socialism, usually know as Fascism (the economics part is pretty the
same as Communism, only the façade is different).
Forcing the banks to give mortages to the poor (usually Blacks and
Latino) because a law say so is Socialism. Never heard something like
this here.
NCLB (No Child Left Behind) is a shame. A social engineering for dummies
from dummies by the dummies.
