  What is the definition of “two tier”? One is real and one is what she wished it would be?
  According to these sources the “cosmetics” of the surplus was swollen by including an IMF contribution and the payments into the nationalized private pension funds, taken over by the Kirchner administration. If these two factors had not been included, “surplus would have turned into a deficit of 8.170 million pesos”.
