So the government was supposed to hand over or guarantee hundreds of billions of dollars but then step back and let the market that caused the economy to crash to do as they saw fit?
Using the extreme opposite that is North Korea to try and prove a point is weak at best. There are plenty of thriving countries with much smaller gaps.
