Quote of the Afternoon: The World’s Quickest Path Out of Poverty
Michael Novak at the Corner (HT Instapundit; link to the President’s speech added by me):
Against the swampy tide of yet another socialism rising from the deep in South America, the President offered the light and sun of the rule of law, transparency, and universal inclusion of the campesinos in the dynamism of the market system.
Why not? The same forces, unleashed in China and India since 1980, have raised more than a half-billion persons out of poverty — the fastest exodus from poverty of any poverty program in the past.
That point sounds familiar (here, here, and here). It’s also something that the draconian policies advocated by the globalonists would stop dead in its tracks.
