 *Editorial comment by Arturo Rosales*: The basic information outlined below
is what readers abroad will rarely see in the corporate media. From the BBC
to CNN, FOX and the floundering big city newspapers. If such media ever did
publish this information it would be an admission that Chávez’ economic
policies are working for the vast majority of the almost now 29 million
Venezuelans. The corporate media will concentrate on GDP declines or
growth(see second article below) as being the yardstick by which to measure
“economic success”. President Chávez, however, says that GDP figures do not
interest him. He is interested in the decline in poverty, unemployment and
inequality and these are the measures which the Bolivarian Government
strives to improve and are seen from 1996 through 2009.
