Aug 18th, 2011 - 10:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is high-level perspicacity from such an august political analyst.
I remember once my partner saying that I must have done something right - she was not being particularly enthusiastic about my general performance.
The English have a phrase for it:
Damning with Faint Praise.
“...must have done something right”.
Aug 18th, 2011 - 03:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That depends on the point of view: 50 % of the args are belonging to the “poor”. From their point of view the 30 % increasement of salaries throughout the country are very comfortable. This money is stolen from many sources. One of them are the billions of unpaid loans to national and international creditors. These increasements will extend the inflation rate heavily from now already about 25 % and they will eat up the advantage of higher salaries. So the “poor” will cry for more to meet the higher inflation. But not long and the source will stop. Than ck, woodoo, and moreno need fresh money which they will have to pay high interest rates for.
nope, this man is wrong. I second every word willi1 has said. More shanty towns, more homeless people, more babies(thousands) with no food, no house, no clothes, government gives those people 180 pesos per child. Entire families are relying on those 46 dollars per child, they don't work, they live thanks to those who work, but for this government, those people are not unemployed and are not poor anymore hahaha, crazy, isn't it? I heard a woman saying that she receives 1500 pesos and she is unemployed, of course!, and she is very happy, living in a shanty town, she loves Cristina, she's so good! She lives in a house made of cardboard and better than that, she is waiting her first grandchild, from one of her daughters who is 13 years old!!! Isn't that great??? When I heard her saying that I said to myself, right, they're oh so right! I am the wrong one, and poverty and misery is actually good!!! and what do you think will happen to that baby gir/boy? Yes, the good old Cristina will give the new child 180 pesos!!! One of her daughters is 13 and the others are older or younger, all of them can have more babies and receive 180 pesos per child, so they can build their lives around free money, like a coupon but better! This woman and her children, is not the only case, there are thousands. Thank you Cristina. Cristina government is built on poverty, misery and the legalization of the industry of poverty, but let's see what the end of this monstrosity will be, anyway, I am ready to enjoy it like I am watching a movie in 3D :)

The 'boiled frog' analogy applies perfectly
- and the people, who enthusiastically vote with the exhortation “Warm my water faster”, do not perceive their outcome and their fate.
