This says it all about Argentina. The Peronists have run the Argentine economy into the ground and have perfused the society with a pervasive corruption. Yet they still get re-elected.

It appears that the Argentine government has been run by “Perfect Latin American Idiots” since the Peron era. The successful in Argentina are the government mobsters or those “wise guys” connected to the government.

May I ask now that Cristina Kirchner is getting in bed with the military(Back Door Junta)
How long will it be before we hear the sound of marching jack boots on the streets once more as the Argentina army attempt slowdown the rush of people trying to volunteer for scientific and medical experimentation?.
How long before there stadiums are getting used for quiz nights were every one is a winner and get's a free flight over the South Atlantic?.
How long before the famous black taxis are back on the streets with there free pick up's?.
How long before the Argentina military adoption service is back up and running?.
