There is no doubt at all that every country on earth is suffering from some form of economic problems or near-disasters; the differences in dealing with these financial situations can be quite a potpourri of options―good v. bad / right v. wrong―tried and true successes / proven failure every time.
As for repeating the proven failure method, we have only to look at the current DemLib / Obama (begun by GWB) federal financial fiasco. It is impossible for a government to spend itself into economic safety and security; by means of confiscated revenues from working class citizens under the guise of tax increases on the rich.
The correct and proper method towards economic freedom is being instituted by our southern little buddy island neighbor Cuba. Immediately laying off half a million state (taxpayer paid) workers, increasing private-sector job opportunities; and that does not mean raising taxes on small businesses and their owners so highly that they will be put out of business ala Obama / DemLibs.
A quote from Cuba president Raul Castro: “Our state can not and should not continue supporting businesses, production entities, and services with inflated payrolls,” (unions and/or public employees) “and losses that hurt our economy are ultimately counterproductive, creating bad habits and distorting worker conduct.”
So, while “communist” Cuba is ridding itself of socialist principles, and instituting a free-market economy in order to again become economically solvent; our DemLib pseudo-leaders are ridding this country of proven successful free-market principles, and in turn, instituting proven failure “communist socialist” economic policies.
It is further stated: “Cubans will soon be paid according to results.” If only this would be true for our DemLib politicians; we could eliminate most all taxes if we did not have to pay all of these politicians for doing everything wrong !!!!
