Mexico is in economic problems
México. - In 2011, Panama, Argentina and Ecuador, with advances of 10.5, 9 and 8 percent, respectively, they occupied first three Latin American places in what refers to economic growth. Very under them, in the position 15 of 20 possible Mexico appears with 4 percent. Of the explosion of the crisis in 2008 it until our years (included the estimate for 2012) that third of nations they report a rate annual average of growth of 7.74 and 6.1, and 4.84 percent, in each case, while the “ship of great soaked", (read euphemistical calderon’s land version). With great difficulty it has averaged 1.56 percent in the period, the same one during the one which Haiti, already ruined, it was desolated in 2010 by an earthquake, and it registered even this way a growth annual average of 3.24 percent.

The ‘Mexican advance’ in the world
In the balance, clearly Mexico stands out among the countries, and among those that less results as nation have in Latin America, nevertheless to have all type of wealth doesn't only stop to stand out regional and internationally, but so that their inhabitants lived under infinitely better conditions to the current ones. Regrettably, all that wealth and that whole potential has been socially -clear incompetence speaking - for a class political-managerial predator that concentrates for itself same the usufruct of the practically inexhaustible patrimony of the country, decorated with a model socio-economic type apartheid. Mexico should report rates of growth like those that now nations like Panama, Argentina and Ecuador, and their inhabitants register to enjoy near levels of well-being to those of developed nations, but the reality is cruel and with great difficulty it reaches 1.5 percent like annual average, with desires of worsening.

It reports an "advance" to countries like Honduras inferior included (2.24 percent appraises annual average in the last five year period, Belize (2.44), Haiti (2.22), and Guatemala (2.58). That yes it is, it can presume that it overcomes the behavior economic Salvadoran (0.6 percent in the signal lapse). The worst thing of everything is that the economic problem is not limited to a six years, but would rather it accumulates three decades at least, during which the behavior economic Mexican has gone of bad in worse, the same as the well-being of the Mexicans. Of these results the urgency of restating the economic pattern, of finding new ways, because of not making it the country, hopelessly, it will fall to the cliff, and now it is very near the border.

The western rescue
At the end of 2008, the American government, with George W. Bush still in the White House, he opened their wide open arks “to rescue” to the speculative financial system that caused the crisis. Thousands of millions of dollars belonging to the taxpayers strayed to assist the economic urgencies and to cover the sector’s corporate excesses of the big ones, but neither from a distance was it possible to moderate the economic collapse from the great depression of the 30’s. Three years later, with the unsettled and proven crisis the failure of the one mentioned, “rescue’s politics” of the previous tenant of the White House the governments of the eurozone decided to come from agreement and exactly in the same way in the one that made it the Bush junior.

Enormous monetary resources that seemed the Niagara’s waterfalls of public origin “to save” to the corporate ones private, while to the owners of that money, the citizens, the draconian "adjustment " politicians prescribed them with the indelible stamp of the Monetary Fund, decorated with an overdose of tear gas and any quantity of kicks and blow with a stick to those that dared to show against the measures implemented by the great capital. In that fragile period, during which the river of public money overflowed in the barons' benefit, the hunger, the poverty, grew the unemployment, the inequality, at the same time that the level of well-being and the fortunes of the “rescued” bankers, those of the north of the Grande river and those of Europe.

The well-being of millions of inhabitants of this blue planet left for the tube of the water close, together with the dignity of the menial governments that they opted “to rescue” to the causing of the crisis and to collapse more to who anything had to do with its gestation, but that they were forced to pay the invoice. This year is of the continuity, of the crisis economic, more hunger, more thirst, more poverty, more unemployment, and certainly more fortune, and more well-being to those who collapsed to the country, to west, and for the elite always. There will be more shakes economic, more “rescues" with public resources; more adjustments of the Monetary Fund, more menial governments, because none of them is willing to correct a millimeter the real causes of the crisis (the depreciation practiced by the banking, and for the financial-speculative system).

In this circumstance there will be more indignant, more Occupy Wall Street, more Arab’s springs, but social movements of the 132, and all this simple and flatly until it explodes the ball of pus. How to forget that in 2008, David Brooks pointed out in ‘La Jornada newspaper’ the American rescue that so much loves to the capitalism and they begin to inject big quantities of money from the federal treasury when being carried out with the government of George W. Bush, announcing "mechanisms " of up to 800 thousand million dollars in new loans and debt acquisitions to look for to defrost the credit markets for the consumers and to rescue the free market of the worst crisis from the great depression, in what is already the state intervention in the most expensive economy in the history. "With this initiative, the government from The States has already invested committed and more than 5 trillion dollars in 22 programs to rescue the American economy and according to some calculations the total could arrive to 7.5 trillions, equivalent halfway the gross internal product of The States in 2007 or almost double the American cost from the Second World War".
