Looks like another economic breakdown for Argentina. It has been going from one to the next since it went socialist/facist in 1930. Argentina was wealthier than the USA before that point. There are plays in Europe, from about that period, with the phrase "wealthy as an Argentine!"

Yeah socialism works great until it runs out of other peoples money. Only the “gimme dat’s” realize that when it’s too late.

Hey buddy, do you have a bitcoin to spare...maybe a bowl of sugar smacks?

Stay tuned...Next up civil war.

I worked two years in Argentina...very frustrating experience. Having worked on large mine projects all over the mundo, the Argies are the worst workers I’ve ever been involved with.

I have always said I would rather build a mine in Africa than Argentina...at least in Africa the people want to work and are teachable.
The Argies think they know everything but are the biggest gripers and crybabies in South America.

Anything to keep the salaries and benefits of those government employees propped up and to continue the globalism. Those won’t be options in the U.S.A. after our debt collapse.

Argentina has a tragic cycle between hard core socialists, and nazi loving fascist types.

The one thing they cannot seem to master is individual rights, republican government, and capitalism.

The one now is ripping off what he can and will assuredly let the country itself collapse, just as we’re seeing..........with the idea the world organizations will then come in and clean up his mess. He will of course skip country.

I agree but I think even with a massive debt collapse, the US would have a better shot than ost other nations at overcoming the longer term effects after we rid our selves of socialists....we have the resources and the work ethic built into our heritage. The layabouts, stoners, and drunkards will have to learn to work hard or starve!

Hellary DOES have a chance to become president. She’d better hurry and get all her immigration and citizenship paperwork done before the next Argentine election though.
