It’s been a decade since they ‘stole’ the IRA accounts (30-billion dollars worth at that point). The thing about the country is that you only have 43-million people.

If they had some Trump-like guy and gave capitalism a chance....they could rebuild the economy and be the second biggest economic giant of the Americas.

Argentina did that trick TWICE.

Obama & Pelosi talked far too much about doing the same thing here.

Same Argentine-know-how that’s working its magic on the Catholic Church.

Argentina and Brazil should be economic superpowers in South America. But their embrace of Socialist policies will ruin them in the long run.

With that kind of ROI, the banksters will be all over this. Just like in the 80s when they got MBAs by having made loans to Mexico, Brazil and Argentina.

Argentine voters will respond by blaming Yanqui Imperialism and the IMF, and will double-down on the Socialism.

The current leadership has inherited problems created in the reign of the Peronista Kirchners (first the husband then the wife) that preceded the present administration.

Unfortunately, the current administration will likely take the fall for those problems and cede power in the next elections to the Personistas that created them. Such is the political cycle of Argentina ever sense the first Peronista - Juan Peron.

Marxists and socialists are like demons in human form.

It’s a shame. I’ve friends in Argentina and have been there three times. A country with great potential that clearly demonstrates that Socialism destroys everything it touches.

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.

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.

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.

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.
