Prospects for a Hillary Presidency.

Hillary is a Leftist. She follows in the footsteps of Barak Hussein, whose aim is to transform the USA into a Leftist-run country a la Argentina, Brazil or Venezuela. So, wondering what her govt might be like, we need to look at the Latin giants.


Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, like Hillary, rose to power on the coat tails of her husband, the former President of Argentina. Disasters followed. Her party is now out of power and has been succeeded by a more 'moderate' President. Cristina herself is under indictment for illicit (or ill advised) currency manipulation that lost Argentina billions of Dollars.


Dilma Vana Rousseff is the impeached President of Brazil. She is a former guerilla leader, though she moderated her practices once in office; i.e. she did not develop an anti-business regime. She was impeached for an illicit manipulation of the budget process to secure winning re-election. Her impeachment trial is ongoing and a day of questioning is scheduled for next Tuesday, followed by a vote.
 
The situation is much more dire in Venezuela. There, the darling of the far Left, Hugo Chavez, had ruined Venezuela's economy and took steps to install a Leftist dictatorship. Chavez died in office and his henchman, Nicolas Maduro Moros took over as President. He, like Obama, was re-elected by suppressing the opposition. In the last election, Maduro's opposition had gained a two thirds majority, but Maduro packed the Supreme Court, which then invalidated some of the opposition victories. So, Venezuela's legislature is unable to remove Madure and end the country's nightmare. Just how bad is this nightmare? It is so bad that a left-wing journal (the Huffington/Puffington Post) is constrained to describe it: high unemployment, food shortages, a 700% inflation (expected to grow to 1600%) and a possible civil war.
 
 
So, how bad will it get if Hillary is elected? Very bad. She promised to increase govt programs, increase taxes and do other things that will ruin the economy even further. She would manipulate economic figures even further. Her opponents would be murdered. And we would have a civil war.
