How Do Filipino Leftists Propose The Philippines Pays Off Its COVID-19 Debts?


It's no secret that the Philippines is incurring lots of COVID-19-related debts. Now, the recent discussion for economic constitutional reform or charter change has resulted in members of Bayad Muna defending protectionist measures. You also have groups like Bantay Nakaw Coalition, Kayabangan Partylist, Makabayad Bloc, Migraine International, Alliance of Complaining Teachers (ACT), Kadamay, and the like who are all going against economic liberalization. I'd like to ask those guys how do they propose to pay off COVID-19 debts? Come on, I dare them to really come up with their solution.

Not surprisingly, the artist who depicted foreign investors robbing the economy, Neil Doloricon, is a member of IBON Foundation. I'm just laughing at how IBON Foundation (and maybe, it's for the best that Judy Taguiwalo who is part of it wasn't confirmed) has its SHORT-SIGHTED SOLUTIONS for inflation. One of the articles of IBON Foundation called "Economic cha-cha is no vaccine for recovery or development" tries to justify 60-40 AGAIN. They even say protectionism is "on the rise" which they mention VENEZUELA -- a country that's very much bankrupted by PROTECTIONISM. India protectionist? India has become freer in its markets and the world's fifth-largest economy. Once again, those birdbrains are TRULY birdbrains. They DO NOT get it. First-world countries didn't get into the national self-industrialization nonsense. Instead, Lee Kuan Yew and Deng Xiaoping didn't self-industrialize their countries into first-world countries. Deng, a COMMUNIST, decided it was time to revive the entrepreneurial spirit, and created Communism with Chinese characteristics. Besides, one of their bird-brained solutions for inflation is cash assistance -- which in turn will require PRINTING MORE MONEY, which in turn will WORSEN INFLATION. Venezuela tried printing more money and FAILED MISERABLY. 

There were members of Kadamay that were demanding MORE cash assistance during the pandemic. It's because members of Kadamay are HUGE OVERSPENDERS who KNOW NOTHING about economics. There were also members of the ACT who were demanding free laptops and Internet FROM THE GOVERNMENT. Others may be demanding world-class healthcare which again requires LOTS OF MONEY. These are but examples that these people have NO real solutions whatsoever one way or another. Do they even account for that in asking for cash assistance and other free stuff THAT the government must borrow money for that too? I guess they don't. I wonder if they're really expecting a shower of gold coins. They're just like spoiled children who demand this and that from their parents. Spoiled children don't consider the amount of effort it takes to earn the money needed to buy what they want. The government has to BORROW MORE MONEY from other countries if it expects to supply the wants of Filipino leftist groups. Do those Filipino leftists consider that? Then again, what do you expect from them following the principles of Karl Marx who was said to be a LAZY BUM? They never take into account the funding necessary to get what they want. Instead, they live like it rains gold coins, leaves turn into money, and the stones turn into precious gems or that the government has the ability to do so. 

These people don't have ANY SOLUTIONS whatsoever. All they know is how to criticize and complain. Criticism is useless when you don't have solutions. People who join Filipino leftist groups are idiots who only know how to spend and not how to save. Meanwhile, their higher-ups are all enjoying life somewhere in a capitalist country such as Jose Maria Sison who's hiding in the Netherlands. If they don't have solutions then they might as well STFU!
