Bolivia - In a spooky development, mainstream financial newswire actually does its job for a change

gas resources, to keep them from being extremely poor, and to enable them to buy things!

Can ghosts and witches and ghouls and bats--and Dick Cheney masks--be far away?

Spook-eeeee! All those rich folks got the heebeejeebies! Stupid fuckers think the poor can buy things, and keep the economy going, with NO MONEY!

And Rotters reports the truth about this! Rotters! I've got chills down my spine!

The english mainstream media doesn't pick up the story because it's about Bolivia, a tiny nation in Latin America with less than 10 million inhabitants, which doesn't export much to the US. I don't know where you live, but it should be evident that most US news media report what they think will increase their market share, so they can charge more for ads. This means news about Bolivia aren't about to break into the news.

By the way, the Andean Monitor, a private financial news service, predicts Peru's economy will be the top performer in Latin America this year. Brazil and Chile seem to be weathering the crisis quite well, but will post slightly negative GDP figures.

The Economist magazine, a fairly reliable source, predicts the worst performers will be Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador and Argentina.

LOL

And I love this old chestnut: "Although critics have said the government is giving subsidies to buy support from poor Bolivians" -- and ruining their own chances of getting it for free . . . .
