Oh I think our economy is in trouble. Currently it's cruising, but the spending will catch up, and our market is going to do a major re-correct. But the beauty of it is....the market WILL recorrect. And sustainable growth will begin once again. When Venezuela's economy needs a re-correct...guess what? Artificial forces step in and try to regulate it. The market becomes unbalanced......kaboom. Yes, i have undying faith in a free market. Perhaps that's my economic naivety shining through. > So this is an incorrect comparison with an economy which is > experiencing unprecedented sustained growth for the last three years > due entirely to Chavez's fiscal policies made within the context of > the current world market. I'll take your word for that. Oil is a wonderful thing to have, aint it? > The reasoning , if one can call it that, is that a Socialist system of > government can never prosper just because.

I know i'm an economic idiot, but i've never heard that argument before. In fact, the argument i've heard goes something like: Socialist controlled economies can never prosper because growth is artificially stunted by non-market forces. When a free market is not allowed to regulate itself naturally, unbalance is inevitable....resulting in stunting, regression, or even collapse. > France, Germany,Canada are just some governments that do not ascribe > to American style government, social systems and economies and have > done quite well for decades.

France and Germany have particularly high levels of unemployment. I'm not versed enough in French or German governmental systems to say if they are at fault, or in fact to what degree they are more socialist than the US government. But i do know that while France, Germany, and Canada have done quite well for decades.......none have done quite as well as the US. So...their systems may work, they just don't work quite as well as ours. If it did, they'd be super powers too, right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:204458 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
