This Country has the Balance Distortion !
in the last three years that the State has become more richer (!)
but, the people has become more poorer ( !) in Chile !!
( Pinera's timing was not bad to become quickly politician but
he should not forget that he lives in a small ship )

Well, all that have been mentioned in the article are clear lestist anti Piñera´s Gvt.....of course they just talk about the half empty glass as they left the country after 20 years on the throne....where the Concertation member were the only benefited through overpayment envelopes, fake research and advising, fraud and robbing over the fiscal money that was destined to help the poorest people....that´s what never be done to help poor people...And now, they have the impudence to critisize the present Gvt. whit just almost 2 years in the office ??

Why they dont mention the post-birth permit enlargement, the increase in the minimum pension to the retired people, the removal of the health payment to 60% of the retired people, the elimination in the delayed operations list in the state owned hospitals, the new scholarship to the best students that want to be teachers, the high increase of the funds for education in the next yaerly stae budget, the success reconstruction of the infraestructure and housing after the 2nd world's highest hearthquake, the high increase of the GDP even in a two years Gvt. with a critical finance crisis around the world nad the mentioned earthquake.
Better those “analyst” (actually leftist politicians) mentioned help to unite the people to work harder and stop the strikes (as the teachers and students) because is the only way to reach a better income for all of us.....

Ah!!! The 20 years Concertacion Gvt. wasn´t from center - left side, it really was from left to ultra let side.....!!! Now we have a center - right Gvt.....!!!

And we are the most developed country in the region, there is no doubt about....
