Vive Calderon

Fire of Liberty

I'd like to offer a hearty Congrats to Felipe Calderon and his victory over Lopez Obrador. If we're going to see a turn-around in the massive migration of illegals across our southern border then a free-marketer who understands the workings of a dynamic economy is a must. Now while Calderon will face a lot of mountains by weeding out the one-man monopolies and the nightmarish government regulations he opens up the door to greater competition and creates an atmosphere that is more open to more jobs and better pay. This surely beats the hard-line socialism of greater welfare spending and protectionist policies that Obrador was hawking. Here hoping Calderon achieves a lot in introducing greater liberalism to the Mexican economy and helping Mexico climb up the ladder of economic growth.
