No their all bad things. But the issue wasn't "are they good or bad", even if they are considered all good, they all represent increasing government control of the economy.

The previous administration was behind most of these initiatives...are they fascists too?

Neither Bush nor Obama are real fascists, their democrats not autocrats, and they aren't ultra-nationalists. But both have had some policies that borrowed from the fascist economic playbook (Obama more than Bush, but he's building on what Bush started.)

Perhaps I should use "corporatist" which some fascists used to describe these economic ideas to distinguish it from full blown fascism that includes these ideas and also ultra nationalism and autocratic government.)
