Is the Left good for the economy? 

Here is some interesting data from economy.com via today's Wall Street Journal. It is the GDP growth for the most recent quarter for the major Latin American countries. I will give the data by country and list the political leanings of the respective presidents. Apoligies in advance for not knowing how to do tables in HTML:

Country/President/Pol Leaning/GDP Growth

Argentina/Kirchner/Left/9.1%

Venezuela/Chavez/Left/7.9%

Peru/Toledo/Center/6.8%

Brazil/De Silva/Left/6.2%

Chile/Lagos/Center-Left/5.7%

Colombia/Uribe/Center-Right/4.3%

Mexico/Fox/Right/2.4%

Hmmm. the further to the right the lower the rate of growth? Interesting
