Yup, I feel great because I pay houses for people who don't work but receive money from this government, which of course means votes for Cristina. In this country you invade other people's property and then you only have to wait for the government to give you money and a house that we'll gladly pay. But you try this in Bolivia, go to Bolivia and invade other people's property and you'll see what Evo Morales will do to you, you'd be impaled by Evo Morales people. What a great woman Cristina is, she's brilliant. Isn't she? Let's hear the Argentines living in the USA saying how great Cristina is. One thing is to live here, a different thing is to live in the USA and say that things are great down here. How can you explain this if things are so great? -----------------------------------------> http://pobrezadesalta.blogspot.com/search?updated-min=2011-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-03%3A00&updated-max=2012-01-01T00%3A00%3A00-03%3A00&max-results=4
Apr 30th, 2011 - 02:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0if things are as bad as you say in an economy growing 9% per year,Cristina has no hope in the forthcoming elections which will be decided by the Argentines living in the country.Everyone knows that the North of Argentina has serious problems but equally there is no doubt that the country has preogressed enormously under the Kirchners.A simple statistic in 2002 the year before Nestopr came to power car production was around 100,000 units.In 2011 when Cristina has no hope according to you it will reach 800,000.Huge numbers of jobs have been created unlike the disastrous governments of the Alianza and Menem.I dont deny there are serious issues such as inflation but anyone who visits Argentina can see the progress.

Apr 30th, 2011 - 07:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I don't agree with everything, never said that. There are tons of people in Argentina bitching and moaning instead of looking for a job to pay for what they want, so yes... CFK should send the Gendarmeria and give this people a choice, get the hell out or get a rubber bullet in your chest.
Flat out wrong for CFK to cut them so much slack, but I still say this government has done more for its country than any other in resent times.
You don't like that I live in the US? Tough shit, I don't care.
You still haven't told us who you think should run the country, who you think would do a better job and why. Cause you don't know... you're a puppet and you're just here to talk shit.
And the problems in the north? Lots of people sitting on their ass waiting for government funds because they feel neglected, much easier to play the role of the segregated poor little imbecile than to go out and look for a job.
Why don't we all sit on our ass and wait for miracles to fall from the sky? Then we can all bitch and moan and get publicity in some bullshit article about poverty... make the government look bad and force it to waste money on us.
#2 I think crsitina is a great president and if you think she is bad maybe it's time you go back to chile. Think of it this way if the brits are occupying Islas Malvinas why wouldn't I let our latiamerican brother grab some land as well ?? if you want to get mad and take any land back maybe you should stop licking british boots and take Islas Malvinas seriously.

I guess you would advocate the same thing for the illegal favela builders and the illegal Landless Peasant invaders.
Perhaps we've lived too long in first World countries - where legal ownership of land is taken seriously, and where trading support of invasions for votes is non-existent.
The truth is, down here, governments support and supply some pretty anarchic illegal behaviours when it suits their needs.
Ah yes, construction is increasing. But, is proper construction being done? Or, is everyone trying to get a chunk of the government subsidies for construction, or are they doing good construction? Just today, another building “under construction” collapsed, killing at least one. Too common a happening in the mad dash to improve development figures!
