Washington, D.C. - The Center for Economic and Policy Research report on the Venezuelan economy on the tenth anniversary of President Hugo Chávez's tenure, which began in February 1999.
"Looking at the economic data and social indicators, it's not difficult to see why Chávez remains popular and has won so many elections, despite overwhelmingly hostile media coverage,"
Among the highlights:
The current economic expansion began when the government got control over the national oil company in the first quarter of 2003. Since then, real (inflation-adjusted) GDP has nearly doubled, growing by 94.7 percent in 5.25 years, or 13.5 percent annually.
Most of this growth has been in the non-oil sector of the economy, and the private sector has grown faster than the public sector.
current economic expansion, the poverty rate has been cut by more than half, from 54 percent of households in the first half of 2003 to 26 percent at the end of 2008. Extreme poverty has fallen even more, by 72 percent. These poverty rates measure only cash income, and do not take into account increased access to health care or education.
Over the entire decade, the percentage of households in poverty has been reduced by 39 percent, and extreme poverty by more than half.
There have been substantial gains in education, especially higher education, where gross enrollment rates more than doubled from 1999-2000 to 2007-2008.
Over the past decade, the number of social security beneficiaries has more than doubled.
Real (inflation-adjusted) social spending per person more than tripled from 1998-2006.
So, by your definition, a MARINE is a Jihadist, HILARIOUS!
And what is a Jihadist? A
very, very unintelligent puppet who blows himself up in order to kill those unaramed or unsespecting bystanders
Hilarious, thanks for proving you understand absolutely nothing about all those places you just posted on and the US gov and power interests agree with me as they point out that the problem with all of those other countries is that they are developing so well by implementing democratic socialists policies that the US has either lost control or is losing control of the possibility of transferring their wealth and resources to US elites.
Look up who Chavez is arresting and attacking
Oh please, please give me an example when the US was defending itself, please, as their own policy state just the opposite
