April was the cruelest month
Inca Kola News — being for investor types — usually has some chart of the day dealing with commodities prices or consumption or costs or import/export data. Yesterday’s chart came from Milenio, showing the latest “butcher’s bill” resulting from the administration’s investment in a narcotics export and firearms import business plan that hasn’t been performing as expected.
Most saavy investors (and most sane people) understand that when a plan isn’t working, you get a new plan… or at the very least, you don’t keep doing the same thing and expecting different results.
The Calderón Administration’s response to calls for a new paradigm in countering violence in this country is to make reference to the U.S. War on Iraq, which as I recall, was meant to find a guy named Osama bin Ladin, who was somewhere else.
Doesn’t make sense to me either.
