The people in Argentina don't realize how good they have it, just at the people living in the socialist paradise of Venezuela! It's good to see Venezuela finally defaulted on it's debt! Flamingo soup will soon be associated with the 'good old days.'

I agree....! Macri should fire all the people who are relatives in his administration. Go for it. No more corruption, no more political patronage. Any government should have an equal number of party loyalists, ....and opposition members. He is doing the right thing. What a guy that Macri is, .... Mozart |

after how many years of failed socialist economics will the people of South America realize that Socialism is not the answer. what is happening now under Macri in Argentina is what happened in Russia after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. It takes time to realign your economic policies from Socialist to Capitalist, Macri has 70 years of Military/socialist policy to reform... People like Che want everything overnight... It will take time... |
