Has anyone bothered to say “Thank you, General Pinochet?” I didn’t think so...

Actually, thanks to the late Milton Friedman and the Chicago Boys are in order!

This move vaulted Chile from the third world to the first world in one generation. ObaMao is trying to do the same thing to America in reverse.

Pinochet deserves a heck of a lot more credit than he has even been given. He really fixed that nation. I mean he even managed to fix it well enough that even successive socialist administrations after he left have not been able to touch the structural reforms which have made Chile into an economic powerhouse.

Now if Chile just had decent gun laws, I might consider moving there.
