The new president of the
Venezuelan Central bank, who replaced a lady who had been at her job only three
months, is a liar. He said in his very first public statement that Venezuela
had enjoyed 58 consecutive quarters of economic growth. Only two persons have
come forward to say that this is a lie:
Miguel Octavio, in his blog http://devilsexcrement.com/
and Francisco Toro, in his blog http://caracaschronicles.com/2013/08/22/como-va-viniendo-vamos-mintiendo/
. The hundreds of economists from academia, the Venezuelan opposition or the
economic analysts who are supposed to follow the Venezuelan situation, have failed to
mention this blatant falsehood. The press, the professional societies, the
public at large, they don’t seem to care. They are more concerned about the
circus at the National Assembly, where coprolalic Pedro Carreño calls Henrique
Capriles a fag or about Nicolas Maduro’s latest contributions to the anthology
of impudence.
Here is the truth about the
economic performance of the last 58 quarters, in a table published by Octavio:
As the readers will see there
have been eight negative quarters in the last four years. Is this something the president
of the bank should know? Of course. Is he a totally inept economist or a
pathological liar? I say both.

Hay Magnitudes que son muy difíciles de expresar y mas aun de entender, un doloroso ejemplo,el desastre del desgobierno de los llamados chavistas.
Las horas hombres perdidas y las requeridas para reconstruir el país y avanzar al nivel que podríamos haber alcanzado, a cuantos millones de vidas se traducen?
Quizás un mapa de Venezuela donde se de color a los estados cuya población es necesaria para alcanzar ese numero?
Imaginar ese costo nos apabulla, pero mayor costo es no hacer nada, al menos en nuestro entorno cercano
