U.S. Media Talking about Latin America!

Finally, a major U.S. media source has begun a discussion about Latin America. I for one hope that this becomes more of a trend as the U.S. has for to long ignored its southern neighbors.

Long-term U.S. goals

David Brooks, NYT columnist, hits the nail on the head on how the U.S. needs to get out of its short-term mindset and begin to construct a long-term economic vision. I especially like the long-term capital gains idea to not begin to reduce rates until an investment is held for 3-5 years. Right on Mr. Brooks!
