Regarding Obama being the saviour. The same thing happened in UK when Tony Blair came to power.

@FrogmortonHotchkiss she was never fooled by Obama. If you watch more of her interviews, you'll see that's definitely not the case.

[FrogmortonHotchkiss]

I agree with a lot of what she says in general and, often, in particular, but I think she was fooled by Obama, who was always just an opportunistic sloganeer.

@spader49 Likewise fuckface! And as you know, for every 'leftist' delusion there's a 'rightist' delusion so tu quoque that you dickhead. Hahahahahahahahaha.  You can't possibly believe I'd lower myself to read those particular articles can you? Superior mind... Bbewwwwwwaaaahahaha! USA, USA, USA - on the way down, ALL THE WAY, ALL THE WAY. Yay hey!!!!

@2001Horatio Im sorry that you can't compete intellectually, with an obviously superior mind. I forwarded you two articles showing how Cuba distorts its statistics, but somone who is obviously close-minded like yourself cares very little about trivial things like evidence or the truth, instead you choose to find comfort in tu quoque, leftist delusions and confirmation bias.All the best, sheep.

@spader49 Freidman's ideas were not good for Cuba. And the irony of you accusing "socialist" countries of distorting statistics is hilarious!!!! Then... the inevitable descent into personal insult - so.... tell you what mate, go fuck yourself and your sister. Your indoctrinated Fascist opinion means nothing to me - I'm just enjoying watching your country go down the toilet. A daily side-show. LOL

@spader49 Not surprising everyone advocates their point of view(be it Keynes or Friedman). Believe what you want...but basically the Monetary system as it is has to go...or minimum what should be done is remove the FED, World bank and IMF and the Fractional reserve banking system with interest. After that, move towards a Resource Based Economy. Anything else will be our undoing. The collapse of the system will be devastating...We got the resources to do it...

@ZagorTeNay80 In an article by the Economist Sala-i-Martin in 2002, he pointed out that between 1970 and 2002 the percentage of worlds population living on less than $1 a day has fallen from 16% to 5% while the proportion of those living on less than $2 has declined from 44% to 19%, during which time global capitalism and privatisation advanced rapidly. So you're factually wrong again, big surprise. Johan Norberg has a good video, on youtube, globalisation is good. You might learn something.

@2001Horatio It is relevant that Friedmans ideas were good for Cuba.Socialist countries have a history of distorting the statistics to reflect what they want to reflect 'the Potemkin villages'.Healthcare is another example of that.There have always been idiot dupes, like George B Shaw, Michael Moore, and yourself, leisured western crusaders, fooled by the dictators.

@spader49 ROFL... Current recession was not caused by Friedman, however it was FForwarded with his "free" market religion. That was picked up by all in power when they saw how they can apply it, to get as much money in their pockets. At the expense of us taxpayers. Removing poverty??Seriously dude??? Since 1970 poverty in the world doubled, BILLION people atm are living on less than 1(one)$ a day(2,2 on less than 2(two)$).1% of the people now own 40% of worlds wealth. Way to go free market!!!
