Venezuela offers Solís government strong cooperation: “Anything Costa Rica needs”

from the miami herald, AP, Reuters. b interested in your photos.

And do you think La Nacion is acting any differently? They too are biased to the PLN. All news is a biased joke in todays world.

yes but it seems you do not question the left as much as the right when history shows the non-fascist right has been much more productive than the non fascist left. from you post above you seem to have no prob with fascist cuba. did you think mao and stalin were just misunderstood?

obama is an unqualified fool and neither clinto or obama give a rats behind about working people. obama is the worst president in the history of the USA. so no wonder you police state left wingers like him.

sure sdpus, clearly you read only from your amen corner. obama has invested more in militarizing domestic agencies than all previous presidents combined. in fact there was a long and specific credible article because it contained all weapons bought and personal trained from the government’s own records. of course you missed that, being a centrist lololol and all.

FDR was a fail. Obama has blown all spending records. if you do not know he has Militarized almost every domestic agency withj SWAT teams, snipers, drone and tanks you are not informed about squat. dumb leftys.

Poor jobs and wages (MCjobs) are the direct result of a lack of competition, and the Walmarting of our society. That has been happening since Reagan started the attack on unions. Wages have also been flat for 30 years, not just since 2006. It is the private sector that creates jobs in a capitalistic economy. Ben was exactly right, the disapearing of Mom and Pop type businesses has killed our economy. Oligarchs rule in our economy, and they often fix prices, and buy off politicians. We don’t live under a pure capitalistic system. It is a crony capitalistic system.

I actually teach econ 101

Ben Dover: It is “YOU’RE” as in “you are”
“your” suggests ownership. Ex: “You’re wrong but you are entitled to your opion.”

I have been to Cuba. Cuba is not a floating jail. Cuba is doing fine. They are not the USA. I been to Cuba 6 times and my father has been going to Cuba for more than 20 years. What would you like to know about Cuba? I know more about Cuba than most people.

Go to Cuba and see for yourself. You might be surprised.

Really. Did you see all the farming and small business that are taking off. Did you see the free health care that is better than the USA? Did you see the free education? You make it sound like all Cubans are sad and starving. Thats not the fact. When i go to Cuba a stay with a family in Havana and they seem very happy and have a farm and feed there kids. Maybe your not happy because you compare everything to the USA. Just a thought.

evil USA and corporations. just think of the world without the USA and corporations. lololololol

Ben is exactly correct about supporting small business. There is a day in the not too distant past (Pre-Reagan)when the USA was for Mom & Pop business. Reagan destroyed that. He busted the unions, and since that period uninformed trolls like you have spoken like they actually have a clue on how an economy should work. Trickle down or supply side economics has destroyed the USA economy. All wealth has been transferred to the top. Corporations are sitting on trillions in profits, but they are keeping it hidden in places like Switzerland, Caymans and Panama. Corporations have the stock market at an all time high right now, but they are doing nothing to help employ people. All the GOP has done is say no to every Obama initiative, but yet he still has enabled them (corporations) to have huge profits. Unions ensure a healthy middle class of working people. Look at the budget deficits ran by Reagan, Bush and Bush Jr. They were war Presidents. They only allowed corporations like Haliburton to profit, because of their no bid contracts. The GOP has pushed the USA into wars that have helped no one but their elitist friends who are defense contractors. They have created a world economy with their puppet governments, like the PLN, who only focus on elitism. The same has happened in Costa Rica, with the pathetic leadership of the Oscar Arias party since the 1980′s. An economy only works correctly for all the people from the middle out. That is what President Solis will be focussing on, just as Obama policy has. Bill Clinton balanced the USA budget because he slightly raised taxes on the wealthiest. He left Bush Jr. with a huge surplus. Bush Jr. again reversed policy and destroyed our economy. When Obama took over we were losing 700,000 jobs per month. For 55 straight months Obama has created jobs, and that is without any GOP support. Like me or not, this is my trained expertise. I will be happy to further discuss the merits of the argument. But you must be truly learn objectiveness on the realities of government, and what works and what does not. Obama is about to raise taxes to the Clinton level. And then watch what happens. And on another note, your view on what you say is needed to fix the USA education system is ridiculous. Property taxes determine funding for schools. Wealthy communities have very good results, poor communities are suffering. Poverty is the # 1 issue when it comes to education. You can’t compare a school district in the Silicon Valley with that of one in Detroit.

excuse my typos and bad grammar, I should have proofread before posting.

Frank, I actually agree with most all your points here, except for one. I truly believe the best years are still in front of the USA. It is important to view government from about a 30 year window. I think Obama is making many important long-term structural changes, and I think you will seemainly Democratic leadership over the next few decades. I say that mainly because of demographic changes, meaning an influx of the Latino vote.

But remember Frank, this is the history of the USA. These complaints have been heard for over 200 years. Most of these immigrants come with little, and are willing to do the jobs that most modern day N. Americans are not willing to do. Yes, there should be a legal process, but mass deportation is not the answer to remedy illegal people. There is a more humane way to deal with the problem, than breaking up families. The drug war is simply legalized discrimination. Corporate welfare is a much more significant problem. Illegal immigrants spend money to keep the economy going. Corporations are not spending money at home, they are hiding it off-shore. Coming from the Philippines is a different type of journey, mainly because of proximity of where the country is located. It’s not really like she had the option of coming illegally, or at least it is much more limited. When you are poor, every dollar counts, and it is only human nature that you would take a chance and take the cheapest way possible. If the Philippines were bordering the USA, we would then have a problem with Philippino immigration. But that simply is not the reality. Your example of Nicas coming to CR backs up my theory. Proximity has a lot to do with it. Even in Costa Rica, the Nicas do the menial work that most Ticos simply won’t do.

Nixon wasn’t one of my favorites either although he did finally end the Vietnam War, which was a good thing. Chile, Guatemala, Nicaragua, of course, El Salvador, Panama, etc. etc. etc. haven’t been the USA’s brightest moments when it comes to its foreign policy, that is certain.

I agree but that war will start winding down soon. MJ is become legal in more and more states in the USA. The mindset is gradually changing on this.
