Brazil's economy up to mid-90's, dominated by stateowned enterprises was similar. Three teleocm vendors (NEC, Siemens and Ericsson) dominated the market for telecoms gear. Revolving door, would feed former minister to presidency of the state-onwed telco. The candidate for senate that failed was catapulted to as director of another state-owned enterprise. The teacher at the university was a director in Siemens, the son of the technical diretor -his student- was studying engineering, and would get a job in Siemens and everything was connected. That nefarious state of affairs, where collusion reined, came crashing down as the governmetn was bankrupt forcing stateowned enterpises to be privatized, others totally reformed (such as Petrobras) as the economy was reformed.

Collusions must de dealt with ruthlessly! Germany is colluded to perfection! Everyone has a little interest in the status quo. Therefore is impossible to change anything. That because whatever you do you touch a teat feeding a suckling. Thus poised to shrink.

I regret to read on this great forum that Barack H.Obama's election is a non-event. At least that is the majority view. I think the election of Obama is a giant step forward, even economically. Afro-Americans will have crucially increased self-respect. I suppose that recently a majority of violent crimes in the US. have been committed by black men. An increase of their self-respect, heightened interest in schooling, acceptance into the world of meaningful jobs and production will bring about a decline in crimes, hence a decline in the number of jails and the jailed, and a decline in the number of policemen. Also the possession of guns,particularly in uncivilized regions like southern states will not be pushed as a need. The possibility of interesting employment will help motivate black women to avoid teen-age pregnancy etc. So Americans will have fewer expenses for police, jails, etc. which are monstrous amounts. Also some people get the electric chair with unclear proof of their guilt, as if the authority apparatus were infallible. There is no reason to accept that courts are infallible. Obama isn't perfect; it's unacceptable that a majority of the Palestine Arabs are denied the possibility of returning to the land which their ancestors lived in for about 17 centuries. I suppose that he wouldn't have won the election if he had not made some compromises. This is a big one and of course will mean the continued murder of Arabs by Zionists as well as the murder of Zionists by Arabs. Nobody persecutes Jews in the US but many seem to prefer living in dangerous places. Warren Buffett said that by the autumn of 2013 the US will be prospering. Not the least because instead of thugs like Bush and his accomplices the direction will be done by civilized people.
