El "matrimonio" El Salvador-Dólar... no
funciona
CONTRAPUNTO
En 2001, el gobierno de Francisco Flores cambió la moneda nacional al dólar,
y los problemas económicos solo han incrementado desde entonces.
Mientras que El Salvador perdió su soberanía financiera, la dolarización
causó un costo más alto de vida, debido al aumento de precios. Este sistema
es criticado por el gobierno actual, pero la presente situación económica
todavía no permite considerar otras alternativas.

Naciones Unidas y OEA confirman reducción
de pobreza en Venezuela
TELESUR
Estudios hechos por organizaciones internacionales han colocado a
Venezuela como uno de los líderes regionales en temas como el
reducimiento de la pobreza y la malnutrición infantil. El GINI, cual es un
índice que calcula los ingresos de toda la población en comparación de la
distribución económica del 1 al 0, fue implementado en este estudio. El
tener una calificación baja en este caso significa una distribución mayor de
desigualdad. El GINI de Venezuela bajó de 0,498 en 1999 a 0,412 en el
2008.
“Venezuela encabeza la lista de países de América Latina que más redujo la
pobreza, según el informe Nuestra Democracia, elaborado por la
Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA) y el Programa de las Naciones
Unidas para el Desarrollo (PNUD).”

“What he was selling was a prison for women and children who were illegal immigrants.”
They talk [about] how positive this was going to be for the community," Nichols said, "the
amount of money that we would realize from each prisoner on a daily rate." But Nichols
wasn't buying. He asked them how would they possibly keep a prison full for years —
decades even — with illegal immigrants?”

Boxer va a la delantera
LA OPINIÓN
Muchos están a las expectativas de los resultados de los comicios del 2 de
Noviembre desde escaños en distritos, asientos en el Congreso, Gobernantes
y controversiales proposiciones. $140 millones, esa es la cantidad histórica
que Meg Whitman, la candidata Republicana al estado de California, ha
invertido en su campaña y aun así las estadísticas muestran que Whitman
perderá. Sin embargo, eso todavía está por verse. Este martes todo se
decide. Hay que informarse, no dejarse comprar con dinero y salir a votar!

“California's two public university systems are expected to seek student fee
increases next month to help pay for rising costs inside and outside the
classroom that a recent boost in state funding didn't fully cover, officials
said.”

Pero yo digo:
My Tuition is Paid
Written by Krissia Martinez, University of California, Santa Cruz
I want to write something, something well written.
Something that says the state paid for my tuition, and I never had any SAT
tutors but I’ve always had a savvy academic intuition.
I’ve been told that I was never supposed to be here, and I hear over and
over again of the academic real world hardships minorities face to try to get
ahead in an institutionally racist society. A racist society, whose taxes pay
for my college tuition.
I didn’t get it, how bad is it really? I mean I made it this far, and I don’t feel
like I have been put down because of the color of my skin. Yeah I remember
in high school my advisor telling me not to bother with a college application
and instead look into a vocation, because that was my higher education.
And I remember staying up till 2am senior year applying to scholarship after
scholarship titled underrepresented minority, disadvantaged youth, Chicana/
Latina, students of color, female of color, that is me right? Female (check)
color (check- brown) underrepresented, disadvantaged, marginalized,
immoralized, uncivilized, first generation immigrant student. Check. Check.
See I was never angry, I never gave myself that space to feel sorry for
myself, to see myself the way they saw our self. The title after title to say
hey your less than us and we would like to give you an opportunity because
we can’t save all of you only the very best, brightest, most athletically
talented, dedicated, and most promising disadvantaged people of color.
How bad could it be if the state, the institution, the man were all paying for
my tuition, to get some education, and increase Latino retention, look at me
I’m trying to get your attention, because I don’t think they have it all figured
it all out yet. They call us trouble makers, rebellious, difficult to discipline,
and as my mentor reminds me were roses growing from cracks in broken
pavement. I wonder how when my tuition is being paid?
Perhaps the thing that I was most talented in was not paying attention,
because I promise you math and science weren’t my thing, and my writing
was passionate from someplace within but how would they know that when
all they ever asked was for me to flaunt how hard it was for me as if my
hardships were battle wounds they could put on their mantle piece.
If I had know that I was trading my pain for a dollar I would have refused to
come over to the dark side, I would have broken that pavement with my
bare hands pounding it like banging on drums, mystic, tribal, beats until my
hands were too numb to feel. The pavement was already broken, and my
punching would have made it worse, and my young naive eager to learn
refuse to listen to you mind was too blind to see the reality. But out of my
stupidity and the grit and dirt on a cloudy rainy day grew a rose, whose
tuition was paid, and well recognizes how ignorance is bliss and childish
dreams are things that we should all run away with, and the meaning of
don’t listen to them has a new impact when you take 120 thousand dollars
by pretending your an invisible underprivileged person of color and making
their education yours.
And now I know, those scholarships should have been titled, “hey we went
into your country and spent a million dollars a day on a military to savagely
kill your families, education, economy, and created a push factor for you and
your family to become silent and dirt between the cracks and fuck after all
we did I can’t believe you still made it here so maybe you do deserve a
reward but not an apology, so don’t worry we will get the check and you just
consider your tuition paid.”
