[...] Emerging economies must be addressed to end this letter. China, India and Russia, as well as other nations have achieved a great deal of development, and with recent funds have been able to address national problems of poverty and development, many thought were impossible to tackle only 5 years ago. These countries have a right to compete and gain wealth, but if companies from the US and EU seek to find fortune in those countries and work with local companies which may produce harmful products or take away American jobs, than those American and European companies should be challenged and blame should not be placed on Canada or Mexico, who have lost much as well, and irrational barriers should not be placed on developing economies because companies from the US and EU take advantage of their consumers.

Five Presidents later and six years later, Argentina is fighting to stave off another economic crisis with some added funds in the bank, promises to pay back much of its international debt, and many of its creditors suffering from an economic collapse which might ironically place Argentina in the position to gain added investments if its reputation can handle the latest wave of financial crisis to hit the globe. It is doubtful this will happen of course, but with poor economic and political leadership in the US, the world and its source of international funds have taken a process that was expected to take 40 years and reduce the US into a shared global power into a change in the world economy which is today's reality.
