China communist?

Neal Boortz seems to think that infrastructure investment is communist?

At a campaign stop in Chester, Virginia Obama said, "everybody's watching what's going on in Beijing right now and the Olympics. Think about the amount of money that China has spent on infrastructure. Their ports, their train systems, their airports are all vastly superior to us now, which means if you're a corporation deciding where to do business, you're starting to think, Beijing looks like a pretty good option."

So not only is Obama praising the Chinese government, but he honestly believes that it takes government in order to make a country great. He honestly thinks that spending your tax dollars will be what makes our country more appealing to corporations ... no mention of the brutally high corporate interest rates in the United States. Maybe that's a reason, Obama, why businesses wouldn't look to the United States as a great place to invest? I guess that's the not the way the "progressive" mind sees it though.

The idea that Adam Smith, John Maynard Keynes, and Joseph Stiglitz are communist is laughable and speaks to Neal's knowledge about economics... but heres the question: does anyone still think China is communist? State-Capitalist yes, but yeah Communist? not so much. Someone smarter than I might be able to explain why Neal Boortz is right on this one....
