    Boudou is the chained watch dog of CK. He´s earning lots of money - as CK - and speakes his masters words. CK doesn´t have the foggiest ideas of a commercial way to go in the world. She only knows about that what the “poor” claim: MONEY. So she spreads money over the people hoping to get their voices for election. And she will be successful. Poor Argentina.
    The inflation will be faster than the money can be spent. The old way from years ago will be the new way for years ahead. 30 % plus in salaries countrywide will eat up their reserves soon. But than they stand there without a restructured industry and modern jobs. That makes the difference to Greek who struggles to get its´s problems solved.

    Four more years of CFK:

    La presión sobre los jueces,

    El manoseo constante del Poder legislativo,

    La destrucción de las fuerzas armadas y de seguridad,

    La apropiación de las reservas del Banco Central y de la Anses para financiar el abundante gasto público,

    Los medios de comunicación estatales a su servicio o en manos de operadores kirchneristas financiados con la fastuosa publicidad oficial que desborda en egresos vergonzosos como ‘Fútbol para Todos’,

    Los gravísimos hechos de corrupción pasados y los presentes que bombardean a sus únicos aliados actuales como son Hebe de Bonafini (Madres de Plaza de Mayo) y Hugo Moyano (CGT),

    La inflación un mal que avanza sin médico que la atienda o al menos la tenga en cuenta,

    La inseguridad,

    Los 11 millones de pobres e indigentes,

    Los US$ 50.000 millones sacados al exterior por argentinos que no confían en el país,

    La caída del país al 6to. lugar en inversiones extranjeras en América latina,

    Los subsidios a los servicios públicos que si se sacasen significarían un incremento del 20% en el índice general de precios,

    La diferencia de más de 30 veces entre los más que más ganan y los que menos perciben, la máxima en la historia del país.

    Any questions??

    Well i suppose it does not matter who wins,

    the trouble with obsessions is the perpetrators nearly always, sells the family silver to get what they want,

    @ Artillero601

    “La destrucción de las fuerzas armadas y de seguridad”

    I don’t agree with that mate, the military elite destroyed themselves by it own stupidity, ideology linked with the “campo”, corruption and weakness.

    And example of that is that meanwhile in Brazil they developed the industrial complex, the Argentineans militaries concentrate themselves in destroying it and in leaking the boot of the Yanks every time they can.

    Any question?

    “what we have now is the paying back to the Military, plain and simple !! leave the Campo alone for a second, without it , we are screwed.”

    Sorry who stop the production of Condor II and scraped it?
    Menen and Duhalde.

    Who gave FMA to the Yank Lockheed Martin to be scraped?
    Again Menen & Duhalde following Neocons instructions=Campo

    Who scraped ARA Veinticinco de Mayo without replacement?
    Menen Dhualde dynamic duo.

    And we where lucky that they couldn’t scrap CONAE, INVAP, CITEFA, FM, etc,

    Campo alone?

    PRN= Martinez de Hoz= campo (SRA family founder)=”traidores a la patria”.

    Martínez de Hoz while promoting measures to destroy and give up to foreigners Argentinean’s assets as guideline of his policy, contrary to that policies he nationalised “Italo Argentino” the Swiss electric company (in which he was director) given to fellow Swiss bankers 400m dollars at that time in compensation for a broke company with all its facilities near to be scraped.

    Conspiracy Theory:
    Persistent rumors about Cristina's health(she had a fall and injured her head) dictates that she will win the elections hands down.Shortly after winning she will withdraw from public life for health reasons leaving Toyboy Boudou in charge. He will continue to lie about inflation and just about everything else, continue with the “model” until the “model” spontaneously implodes - default no 2. At this point Cristina will re-emerge as saviour, firing Toyboy and reintroduce a new “model” based on taxing farmers completely out of business and of course a new Toyboy- Annibal Marx perhaps?
