Very quick to pick fault and dismiss suggestions and opinions of others but not offering anything of any substance himself. The truth is I don't think he's got any suggestions that would stand up to scrutiny.

As I've said before we shouldn't have squandered our national resources but maybe it's not too late to set up a sovereign wealth fund. Selling every asset the country has is a very short sighted approach and if nothing else we should learn that making a profit out of a public service shouldn't be the be all and end all. Make a profit yes, but let the country as a whole benefit from the profit. Other countries have state owner oil and gas sectors and not all of them have turned out like Venezuela.
