Argentine Economy

It could be said that the Kirschner's economic policy is confusing.

But I think Sidney is one of the few people who understands the Kirschner economic policy, which is, "to pull money out of the AR economy to line their coffers and to increase their political clout"

Sad but true.

P.S. what is sadder is that this is the same policy every Argie Administration has followed since Belgrano, who may have been the first and last honest politician Argies ever had.

[QUOTE=Sidney]Much credit to the BA Herald. During the boom years, K squandered billions subsidizing public utilities transportation. Now, K is drastically increasing these prices and subsidies. K's recent edict was to tell the people to keep spending to save jobs! Every country in the world is ''goosing their economy. But, K's major effort is to pull money out of the AR economy to line their coffers and to increase their political slush funds.[/QUOTE]

Argentina's president meets Fidel Castro in Cuba.

[quote]Cristina Fernandez met with Cuba's ailing former leader Fidel Castro on Wednesday, easing rumors that his health had badly deteriorated. Castro looked well and spoke about new U. S. President Barack Obama, Fernandez told reporters before leaving the Cuban capital, Havana.

"I was with Fidel about an hour. We talked a lot about Obama," Fernandez told reporters at Havana's airport. "He had a very good impression of Obama and he seemed to believe what he said."

"Fidel believes in Obama," she added.

"Now you know that Fidel is fine, and not like the rumors around here," Cuban President Raul Castro told the reporters at the airport.

It was the elder Castro's first confirmed meeting with a foreign leader since a Nov. 28 encounter with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The presidents of Panama and Ecuador visited earlier this month, but left without saying they had seen the former leader, adding to rumors that his health had deteriorated.

Rumors that Castro is ill — or worse — have been fed by the fact he has not published any newspaper columns since Dec. 15 and by comments from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a close friend and ally, that the Cuban leader may not be seen in public again.

The spokesman said their meeting was not part of Fernandez's agenda but was arranged by Raul Castro, who drove the Argentine leader to the meeting. But Fernandez and Fidel Castro met alone.

Fidel Castro has not been seen in public since undergoing emergency surgery in July 2006 and was replaced by his brother as Cuba's president in February.[/quote]Associated Press writer Mayra Pertossi contributed to this report from Buenos Aires.

Argentina is an economic disaster. What advantage can possibly be achieved by meeting with the fuckin Castro assholes. The Castro bastardos have the only country with a worse economy than Argentina.

I will say it one more time, Fidel Castro should be barbecued (boiled alive) and fed to pigs.

Furthermore, God help Argentina, if the Kirschners are trying to bring Cuba to Argentina

The fuckin Kirschners are stupid beyond words.

Argentine prez: Fidel Castro 'believes in Obama'

[quote]Cuba's President Raul Castro, right, gestures as he shakes hands with Argentina's President Cristina.

Play Video Barack Obama Video: HU Marching Force excited about inaugural performance 13 News, WVEC Hampton Roads Play Video Barack Obama Video: Gitmo, carrier relocation on Obama military agenda 13 News, WVEC Hampton Roads Play Video Barack Obama Video: Obama's Day One: Recession, War, Ethics AP HAVANA – Fidel Castro watched the U. S. Inauguration on television and said Wednesday that Barack Obama seems "like a man who is absolutely sincere," Argentina's president said after meeting with the ailing Cuban icon. "Fidel believes in Obama," Cristina Fernandez said.

The meeting with Fernandez, just before she ended a four-day visit to Cuba, dispelled persistent rumors that the 82-year-old Castro had suffered a stroke or lapsed into a coma in recent days.

"I was with Fidel about an hour or more," she told reporters at the airport as she left. "We were chatting, conversing. He looked good."

Fernandez said Castro wore the track suit that has become his trademark since he fell ill in July 2006 and vanished from public view. A spokesman said the two met.[/quote]*****That fuckin bastard castro has never been elected to any office. A cochroarch, as an opposition candidate, would probably defeat that fuckin bastard castro in a landslide.

[QUOTE=Sidney]The stupid CFK visits Cuba, now Ven.

Instead of honoring or attending Obama's inauguration! What a fukin fool![/QUOTE]Did the US president attend K's, Hugo's or Lula's inauguration? Or did they send an intern?

[QUOTE=Sidney]Instead of honoring or attending Obama's inauguration! What a fukin fool![/QUOTE]I watched the inauguration on local Spanish TV, since the apt I rented the cable does not have CNN in English. I remember them saying, that their where no heads of state at the inauguration, because they where asked not to attend, because all the security was devoted to protecting Obama. There would not be sufficient security to protect multiple heads of state, if they came. Don't know how true it is, but I remember someone saying that.

My dad used to call those track suits "indictment suits" cause all the mob guys wore them when they appeared for arraignment back in the 70's and 80's in NYC.

CK paying homage to the Cuban political status on Jan. 20 sends a very bad message. Even local papers were confused and wrote several stories on this.

[QUOTE=Thomaso276]My dad used to call those track suits "indictment suits" cause all the mob guys wore them when they appeared for arraignment back in the 70's and 80's in NYC.[/QUOTE]I have heard them called the Italian tuxedo.

If anyone can, I suggest you pick up the highly entertaining book titled "Mobs, Messiahs and Markets" by Bonner and Rajiva. The former is the founder of Agora (who some of you may already know) In the book there is an excellent section on Argentina starting on page 160 covering Argentina's socio-economic past and present with a hint of the future." The book in and of itself is a darn good read. As a matter of fact, the book's first sentence made me chuckle, "It is a shame the the world improvers don't set off some sort of signal before they go bad, like a fire-alarm that is running out of juice".

You can go to amazon and through the book preview feature you can read the pages about Argentina. Just search for Argentina, you can read 3 pages at a time, just search for Argentina again and pickup where you left off.

I liked the part that says "any argentine who does not steal is mad at those who do, until they have a chance to do it themselves."

So I would say Brasil ir now running scared into trying to protect their markets in much the same way nations around the world did during the great depression. I would not hold out much chance for the US to eventually become restrictionist too - and if that happens its all over. In that case start buyin 50 lb bags of junk silver on ebay. You guys are gonna need them:)

Imagine what this is going to mean for street crime compadres!
