Drugb posted:. Burnham was a tyrant and dictator, Jagdeo was a liberator, both economically as well as from the wicked PNC.
Let us get some facts.
1. Sat Sawh's family don't have as high a regard for Jagdeo as you do and in fact WikiLeaks shows that the US government considered Jagdeo to be a protector of drug dealers. They refused to release any information about narco traffickers to him as their experience showed that within minutes that information would be conveyed to drug traffickers.
2. The Burnham economy was liberalized by Hoyte. This forced Jagan to forgo his blatant Marxist Leninist economy and let the private sector lead the economy.
3. The "investors" under Jagdeo were a bunch of money launderers who engaged in speculative investment in real estate and retail. The productive sectors, with the exception of gold DECLINED under Jagdeo. The mere fact that a lot of real estate in Guyana is priced in US$ will indicate to you who the real market is. Clue, it isn't grass roots Guyanese who do NOT earn US dollars!
