    Admirable as this news is it masks the real problems facing Uruguay: no REAL jobs.

    We have 600,000 PRETEND jobs, all of those who work for the government and cannot provide an independent tax regime to the rest of us who DO actually pay taxes.

    But this subtlety is completely missed on “No Money Pepe”, hence the need to kick US$ 2 Bn of debt 25 years down the road.

    Only when the masses elect AND back a government proposing major structural reform to this society where they have to WORK for a living or they get NO money will things ever improve.

    So, we are fucked.

    Simples.

    Just because you pretend to be working in order to get free access to Health care, is not the same as to say that Uruguay have 600.00 pretend jobs...
