5. No, but what Cain is doing is brilliant
It sounds good.

How many people, including Cain, know the true effects of this like an increase in poverty, or that Chile's debt is rated as C+?

Cain does not care, but I doubt most Americans know this.

6. Chile's debt was actually rated A+ a year ago, the highest in Latin
America. Chile also has about 6% GDP growth per year. About 11.5% live under poverty level.

8. The 1982 debt crisis?
Yes, that was a long time ago. Chile's economy has been doing pretty well--compared to much of Latin America--since the 1990s.
