Oh, the originality! The Macri Regime says the same! Thu Jan 26, 2017 | 4:21pm EST UPDATE 2-Argentina closer to exiting recession as economy grows in November Revised=cooked. Thu Feb 2, 2017 | 4:34pm EST UPDATE 1-Argentina's Dujovne says foreign direct investment to double in 2017
The 2016 FDI was minimum, so doubling it wouldn't be the big thing. The problem is, People see mirages anytime: Thu Aug 11, 2016 | 8:18am EDT Some green shoots emerge in Argentina's recession-hit economy
It's Macri's "agrarian utopia". If the statistics focus on Big Agro, Big Oil, Big Mining, Big Finances and some specific pockets, the macro-economic numbers may be OK. But those sectors represent only a tiny elite of People. The huge majority of the Argentine population is not going to get anything of that. Only misery for them. Of course, the Macri Regime will ask for more time: ![]() ^^^Robin: "(Macri) needs more time".

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner indicted in Argentina corruption case https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/dec/27/cristina-fernandez-de-kirchner-indicted-corruption-argentina The former Argentinian president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was indicted on Tuesday in a corruption case involving public works. Federal judge Julian Ercolini approved charges of illicit association and fraudulent administration against Fernández, and two former aides: ex-planning minister Julio de Vido and former public works secretary José López. Also named was businessman Lázaro Báez, whose Austral Construcciones company allegedly benefited from irregular contracts. The judge’s order froze the equivalent of up to $633m of each defendant’s assets, though it was not clear they have that much. |

Thousands of Argentine teachers strike in test for Macri's government
Thousands of teachers took to the streets, delaying the first day of school for millions of children, as part of a two-day national strike demanding a wage increase, in Buenos Aires, Argentina March 6, 2017. The signs read 'In defence of public education, art and socio-educational programs.' REUTERS/Martin Acosta Read this same news at AFP, teleSUR and Prensa Latina. Mass Teachers Strike in Argentina

It's too much....It's too much....! I love to comment on Argentinian stuff, but, ...but, ...where to start? OK, I'll only do two,....2. 1) Raising price of gasoline. Excellent! Well Done! Argentinians need to get used to paying for commodities at their actual cost of production. Why should gasoline, or natural gas, be discounted? This example of "market awareness" will make Argentina stronger in the future. 2) Teachers go on strike. OK, like, who cares? They want, ...what, more money? Argentina is now broke, ...no money. You can paint a g'zillion cute posters, wave flags till your arms hurt or dress-up in Che caps as far as the eye can see, but it still doesn't solve the basic problem. Money. You cannot create new money out of nothing. If you do, that's called INFLATION. Look north. See what the loony Venezuelans are doing? The Bolivar is worthless as toilette paper. Crapola. See? Inflation. A TAX on EVERYONE. Versteh? Now, as to those striking teachers, go back to your schools and teach the kids about capitalism. Teach them how true wealth is created. It's your only salvation. Not socialism. Not Marxist economics. Not Cristina's whatever-the-f-she-was-doing, capitalism. Mozart |
