Fidel Castro Warns Of
"Dramatic" Consequences
From Financial Crisis
HAVANA - Former Cuban
leader Fidel Castro on
Sunday warned of the
"dramatic" consequences
that the current
financial crisis would
bring about and called
for vigilance against
the measures the U.S.
government has taken to
solve it.
"(Those measures) will
bring more inflation,
more devaluations of the
national currencies,
more painful losses of
the markets, lower
prices of the export
commodities, more
unequal exchange,"
Castro said in an
article published by
Cuban media.
The crisis will also
bring more knowledge of
the truth, more
consciousness, more
rebellion and more
revolutions, he said.
According to Castro, the
capitalist system is
experiencing the worst
crisis since the world
followed that model of
growth and development.
Castro also exemplified
the amount of U.S.
public debt, saying that
to count it, one man
would have to spend 710
billion years, working
eight hours daily
without losing one
second, counting 100
bills of one U.S. dollar
per minute and working
300 days per year.
"The people always pay
the bills," Castro said.
