*GOING TO THE ROOTS OF THE PROBLEM* By Dr. Edwin Vieira, Jr., Ph.D., J.D. February 21, 2010
NewsWithViews.com [/The following is an expanded version of an address I was asked to present recently. The subject is "radical", in the sense that it digs down to the roots of the problem. But for that very reason it needs airing. Therefore, I put it out here for general consumption, and perhaps consternation. Please add it to the "I told you so" folder in your "favorites" list./] Once upon a time, not so very long ago, a certain nation was one of the richest countries in the world. [World War II] had left it a creditor nation; it was owed * * * billion[s of] dollars by Britain alone. The derelict state of the European economies gave [this country] an assured market for its exports, while making it difficult to import much from Europe, thus enabling th[is] country to protect its own * * * industries. After the neglect of the thirties there was money for public spending and the country was * * * absorbing a flow of immigrants * * * [who] were not illiterate and unskilled, but scientists, skilled workers, intellectuals. What country was this? The United States? No---Argentina.
