    Oh!

    Are we going to have our own IMF for the region?

    This is a fantastic idea

    It will be wise if this Unasur committee presses Argentina to set up a national austerity programme to bring the increasingly rampant inflation under control.
    What it should not become is the bale-out for basket-cases.

    @GeoffWard

    Ha ha Geoff this sounds very funny especially from someone that comes from the QE I and QE II Island.

    And do you know what?

    Quantitative Easing is not working for UKI, have you noted that?

    What next?

    Any Idea to enlighten us about sound economies policies?

    Waiting professor for your thoughts...

    The only reason Argentina is there, is the sound of money,
    Would you let your immature little child control something as important as this, it’s not a bloody playground for kids,
    Argentina, is not yet ready for such responsibility’s, or control of any adult stuff, if her bloggers are the standard then Argentina, is the last nation to let loose with billions of other people’s money,
    and the only fantastic idea from nico, is the fact she is there in the first place,, if she want to be treated like an adult, then we suggest she acts like an adult in the first place, and not an arrogant bully,
    [Remember the Falkland’s] grow up ???

    “then we suggest she acts like an adult”

    Well if you want to be treated as a serious adult I suggest you to post something intelligent to start with.

    As I said, Nico,
    set up an Argentinean national austerity programme to bring the increasingly rampant inflation under control.

    Austerity programe = raise taxes and cut services.

    Brilliant idea retard, same thing they do in the UK. Does it work? No..it doesn't.

    What Argentina is similar what Iceland did. Default and renegoiate the debt that doesn't hurt their own people or don't pay at all if they (the crooks) don't agree at all with the debt that was created by their old crooked government leaders. Why suffer if you (the people) didn't cause it. In the UK, they think different and simple..screw the people and just tell them lies. Argentina has the advantage..the paris club and IMF are desperate for money (they are the ones that are broke) and can say..take it or leave it.
