MEXICO'S CRISIS. The U.S. mortgage crisis is hitting hard the Mexican economy and is pushing Mexico into a recession. Mexico sends about 80% of its exports to the U.S. and lower exports mean less jobs. Also, falling oil prices bring reduced revenues for the government and this could lead to significant cuts in the federal budget. This in turn could lead to less spending on basic social services and programs to fight poverty and hunger. Is there a plan to deal with this crisis? This program is hosted by Martha Elena Ramírez from Mexico City.
