Foggy future

I was reading an article in The Economist about the approve of the constitutional change in Ecuador. I like reading articles from all kinds of magazines, either leftist or not. Economist of course is not a leftist magazine, is a strictly conservative one who approves and support neo-liberal economy. All these years I was wondering how can they judge socialist economy so bad, they were arrogant, all leftist economists had predicted for the downfall of U.S economy, this crach was expected, the neoliberals were denying that a crach would come. Leftist knew it was close, so I wondered, you have someone who comes and warns that an eathquake is coming, you instantly judge him, because there is no possibility that he/she can predict an earthquake, even in this case though don't you get some measures, don't you say to yourself "Ok, he/she is probably wrong, but what if he is right? why should I be injured?" so you at least remove stay alert. U.S has paid its arrogance, the fact that everybody shouted that a crach was coming and they closed their ears being certain for their economy, now the people of the U.S is paying the cost of this arrogant view. You dont want to be leftist, dont be but for the sake of your people, of your country at least listen to them. We are not saying to change the constitution, but at least take some measures.
As for returning to the article of the Economist, I was wondering after I read it how can this magazine still be so opposed to these change, they are still arrogant, even after this huge blow they are arrogant. They judge everyone but themselves, everyone is wrong and they are always right. Even when the system crashes they still support it in all means. Thus the only reason that people in the States have lost their houses, their jobs, their future, because the high authorities do not listen, it is not about left or right, communist or neo-liberal, it is about our children that will raise in a world which has nothing to offer to them but fear and insecurity, ok it is not the end of the world, but whrn I make a mistake i try first to fix it and then I press myself not to repeat it. Politicians, economists e.t.c have to learn by their mistakes, to admit them and try not to repeat the same ones. No one says that new mistakes will not come, or that socialism is perfect, but a change should be made as to oust the fog away of our future, as to help little children around the world to live, to survive and not die.
