  Bill Clinton’s successful first presidential campaign was based on the motto “It’s the economy, stupid”.
  I never see opposition groups talk about Burma’s economy. Who is exploiting all the natural resources, like gas, timber and gems of Burma. It’s the Chinese (Singaporeans included), stupid! Look at what’s happening in Arakan, Shan and Kachin States nowadays. The poor people in Burma are becoming slaves, building their pipelines, their roads, mining their jade and gold.
  Even in despotic oil-rich Arab countries, the population gets a share of the riches, but not in Burma, except for the generals and their cronies, who are bribed by the Chinese. The money is put away in Singaporean banks.
  Let’s talk about the economy. Even the powerful US has to talk about it with China all the time!

  You’re not talking about alternative economic idea but blaaabbing and nagging. Bill Clinton presidential campaign in 1992 came on the heels of economic slowdown. Jobs creation was his first term target and ” bridge the millenium ” was his second term presidential campaign and he did it! History proved WJC as the fifth most successful president of the United States of America in term of economy.
  How can we talk about economy with internet litter-bug or a hoodlum like you guy who ghostly type-write about just frivolous pastimes from invisible place?

  Bumped again with another wishy-washy goon!

  I bow to the infinite wisdom of someone like Myo Aung! He must have learned all this stuff from Confucius!
