Examining LBJ's Great Society, I read there was a lot of good that came out of this plan. Most of the stuff in his plan is just good policy for our Country.

I do not call this Socialism.

Furthermore, spending for this plan expanded EXPONENTIALLY under Republican leadership, that is established fact as well.
