But to get direct foreign investment, Venezuela would have to stop confiscating foreign property. You can have a growing economy or you can have dictatorship, but rarely can you have both.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-54716881859109481452016-08-09T22:48:19.421-07:002016-08-09T22:48:19.421-07:00The Pope would be really upscale from this guy but...The Pope would be really upscale from this guy but I don't think he's in to Jesus lookalikes with phony resumes. I like the idea of a free trade zone where citizens of both countries can set up businesses and ship stuff into and out of both countries without tariffs or taxes. Wasn't that your idea TSB? They could also get investment from outside.<br /><br />gwbAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-48532570070865715652016-08-09T17:18:48.352-07:002016-08-09T17:18:48.352-07:00I saw the Venezuela news.

He has a sort of Peronist economics, and that might be more practical than the Marxist kind.TSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02790614121966204073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5803385070922797451.post-7004184662550067492016-08-09T06:05:53.223-07:002016-08-09T06:05:53.223-07:00TSB: They call him 'The Economic Jesus of Spai...TSB: They call him 'The Economic Jesus of Spain' and he has just signed on to turn the Venezuelan economy around.

To keep this from going on for another decade we need to resort to an expert in the 'BLACK ARTS' of surveillance and smear. Fox News has the best crew of these guys around and with the departure of Roger Ailes 5 of them have already been fired in just the past week...with more to come as the investigation gets rolling. In this 11 min video Cenk Ugyar explains how he was warned about 'THE FOX BLACK ROOM'in 2011 by his employer MSNBC. They were afraid he could be destroyed if he criticized Bill O'Reilly or Roger Ailes... because nobody had ever gotten away with that! https://youtu.be/l8UKZ8zASUQ gwb (Do they have private detectives and anonymous bloggers in Pakistan? That plus a 'hot' former State Dept.Spokeswoman might do the trick.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
