Mexico USA Neighbor Inflation

According to the "CIA - The World Factbook", GDP per capita (Purchasing
Power Parity) is $3300 in the Philippines and $12500 in Mexico.
In other words, the GDP per capita in Mexico is about 3.8 times higher than in the Philppines.
So it makes perfectly sense that the ice coffee is about 4 times higher in Mexico!

I wish this was true, there are so many lies created by countries it is incredible. The CIA pretty much just take the information given by Mexico and puts it up.

This page shows Un-Employment in Mexico at 3.7 percent and the USA at 4.9.

I am lucky if I meet 1 in ten people in Mexico making over 15 dollar per day. However, it is easy to also ignore the cleaning lady, the guy digging the hole an the girl pumping gas, I did say girl and think that guy from DF is the country.

This is a class system county whereby the rich keep trying to convince the world they treat their workers good as they become rich on the backs of people they dumb down to keep working.

Corruption at it best and I have been to 77 countrie and you have been at how many?

China is taking the business from Mexico because the cost of Corruption is higher in Mexican than in China.

Andy will not believe the truth if he had a degree in Economics. The truth is Andy visits th e poorest sections of the world and does not understand GNP is not directly related to the area in which he sleeps.

Economy Mexico
Economy - overview:
Mexico has a free market economy in the trillion dollar class. It contains a mixture of modern and outmoded industry and agriculture, increasingly dominated by the private sector. Recent administrations have expanded competition in seaports, railroads, telecommunications, electricity generation, natural gas distribution, and airports. Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal. Trade with the US and Canada has tripled since the implementation of NAFTA in 1994. Mexico has 12 free trade agreements with over 40 countries including, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, the European Free Trade Area, and Japan, putting more than 90% of trade under free trade agreements. In 2007, during his first year in office, the Felipe CALDERON administration was able to garner support from the opposition to successfully pass a pension and a fiscal reform. The administration continues to face many economic challenges including the need to upgrade infrastructure, modernize labor laws, and allow private investment in the energy sector. CALDERON has stated that his top economic priorities remain reducing poverty and creating jobs.
GDP (purchasing power parity):
$1.353 trillion (2007 est.)

PHILIPPINES

Economy - overview:
The Philippine economy grew at its fastest pace in three decades with real GDP growth exceeding 7% in 2007. Higher government spending contributed to the growth, but a resilient service sector and large remittances from the millions of Filipinos who work abroad have played an increasingly important role. Economic growth has averaged 5% since President MACAPAGAL-ARROYO took office in 2001. Nevertheless, the Philippines will need still higher, sustained growth to make progress in alleviating poverty, given its high population growth and unequal distribution of income. MACAPAGAL-ARROYO averted a fiscal crisis by pushing for new revenue measures and, until recently, tightening expenditures. Declining fiscal deficits, tapering debt and debt service ratios, as well as recent efforts to increase spending on infrastructure and social services have heightened optimism over Philippine economic prospects. Although the general macroeconomic outlook has improved significantly, the Philippines continues to face important challenges and must maintain the reform momentum in order to catch up with regional competitors, improve employment opportunities, and alleviate poverty. Longer-term fiscal stability will require more sustainable revenue sources, rather than non-recurring revenues from privatization.
GDP (purchasing power parity):
$298.9 billion (2007 est.)

Just Because Mexico sucks and seems poorer because of your unofficial observance it does not mean they redistribute the wealth like they do in USA."Tv's,cable.cell phones,air conditioning and over weight welfare recipients make the USA SEEM Healthy and Wealthy"

Did you get your rocks off on the statistics?

The two ice machines where in Acapulco and Manila, not the poor places of the country.

I do think you need to leave the computer and walk a country, take a bus, leave the resort.

Interesting twist on the official or un-official, does this mean you are officially the offical.

I have traveler all over this country, I know it front and back, spent weeks in Mexico City lving with a girl who worked for the United Nation High Commission for Refugees. Her maid had a private eleavator.

Mexico ignores its poor, keeps them systematically dumb down and for 100 percent sure, I live int Mexico for one year or more.

This is always my point, get you nose out of these statistics and look at cultures.

I was laughing to myself today, I spend a lot less money in Mexico because it harder to buy things than in Philippines or Thailand.

Dirty Sanchez is Troll or Flamer, however he first insulted me and followed up with a lot of information. So ignoring his troll behavior and his name Dirty Sanchez... hehehe

I look for contrasting opinions from anyone, a troll can live, they just need to stay under the bridge at times, off the page. Flamers are flamers, hehe

I could use other words in Spanish for Flamers, however this would be some type of feeding the Trolls.
