    What an opportunity for Brasil!

    Translate soybeans iron ore, (and oil) profits into manufacture, education and infrastructure across this great nation, and this might be the greatest place to live in the world.

    Well gentlemen what wonderful.praise for our neighbour with Argentinas esignificantly down. Ahh but hold on a minue Brasil with its 200 million population has a 30 billion surplus while Argentina with only 40 million will have an eleven billion surplus.So if the brasucas Geoffrey have the opportunity to create a great country which I dont deny I humbly contend Argentina will be even better

    Geoff, Brazi's “real” inflation is lower than the US. something you cannot understand.

    Brazil can do it Brasileiro, there is a long way to go in Brazil, something Geoff for some reason (though he lives there) can't stand, because he knows his silly island (so called developed) is ready for more austerity measures :D..aren't they Geoff, and I bet you have nightmares about your pension. I know, not funny, just reality you hate. The world is changing old man, get use to it, though it's hard for your ego...i know :D

    Happy New Year, Fido.

    You read it wrongly. My inflation comment refered to O'G's #4 praise for Argentina's 'superior' economic position.

    Or import barriers setup by the KK's!

    O gara, if you want to show off against Brasil (last one still has 3x times bigger export volume and balance than ARG), I got one to top your comparison:

    Chile has almost only a third of Argentina's Population (17 vs 42 mill) and does have the same export volume and a slightly higher trade balance. So statistically each Chilean produces 3 times what each argentine does for export. ;)

    Always depends on the perspective, doesn't it?
