    Very interesting article Rahlgd, something that a lot of people fail to see. Calderon actually has done a lot, and his predecessors I might add, but the war on the cartels seems to eclipse it all. One thing I might add that is also a big change is that since they came to power they made it way easier for Mexicans to own their own homes, making credit more accessible. Thanks for the read.

    Yeah, I know something close to a million homes were purchased last year alone, thats no small feat. I was intially a bit worried that Mexico was going to be walking into a China style overbuilding problem with a lack of people being able to actually afford to live in new houses especislly with all these new appartment towers being built in the larger cities or all those urban developments and gated communities but they all seem to be fully populated fairly quickly. Mexico just has to careful not to become overly dependent on credit and needs to keep a close eye on who the banks are lending to to avoid what happened with the US.

    Let them consider our nation what they want. Our nation is proudly moving towards a bright future, a future where we will hold great power and strenght. Right now those who call our nation a failed state, are the same people who live in nations with immense debt to others. They throw rocks from glass houses, thinking the glass is bullet proof.
