There’s an interesting article in La Nacion today about where the foreign investment in Costa Rica comes from …
82% from the U.S.
8% from Europe (Spain, ENgland, Belgium and France)
6% from Asia (Japan and India)
3% from Latin America (Mexico and Venezuela)
1% from Costa RicaYou can see the full article at:

We can look at this in two ways:
1. Relying on the U.S. for 82% of it’s foreign investment could be considered risky … We’re always advised not to have all your eggs in one basket!
2. As the U.S. economy continues to crash as planned, surely more and more U.S. companies will seek to save more money and offshore their operations in places like Costa Rica?
What do you think?

The policies of the Reagan administration added over 34% to the debt to GDP from 1982 to 1995, Bush2 policies added 29.11% to the debt to GDP from 2002 to 2009.
Bush2’s wars, tax cuts and recession continue due to congressional inaction and the debt to GDP is expected to be 105+% by 2016.What little we have heard of Romney’s plans they will be a continuation of the policies of Reagan and Bush2.

Contrary to what the conservative fringe tells us Obama has sent proposals to create jobs and a budget every year to the Hill but congress has failed to pass any of them.
Better be praying that Obama gets re-elected or the debt to GDP will equal what it was in 1946. 😥
I think once they find out what’s actually required to set up shop and become an employer here they’d run as fast as they could.The rights of employees is just a fraction of it.
OTOH if You’re Intel, HP, Boston Medical etc, they’ll bring you in and drive you around in Lauras Audis and hand you an honorary pass like they did for Steve Case(AOL), who wisely halted his 800 million dollar plan here.
