    50 percent of the voters recieve free money so of course she is a shoe-in for October, which is really sad because we can not take much more 30% inflation.

    The main error of many is to underestimate the leadership of Christina, for being a woman in Argentina and Latin America when he has a remarkable consensus in their favor.
    It is the main figure of Peronism and has demonstrated a capacity to govern against unfavorable international economic crisis and Europe and the United States despite the bad press from CNN, BBC and related groups colonialism as Clarin and La Nacion.
    Defects to be overcome, but certainly their leadership and consistency in the fight against the endpoints of the dictatorship and the defense of sovereignty against foreign aggression. It is in vain Oyanta Umala, Dilma Rousseff, Rafael Correa and other South American presidents are referenced with her on various issues and even Barack Obama takes it as an example in nuclear disarmament policies without neglecting the domestic economic, for its plans social integration as the universal child allowance, Law on Media and the distribution of wealth against monopolies.
    As for the Falklands conflict is not about Cristina Kirchner only it is more, transcends those in power in Argentina, and continue to claim any party that wins because it is a state policy.
    She has managed to grow global awareness of the conflict. Latin America supports the claims, both as MERCOSUR and UNASUR United Nations.
    It is a way of dealing together with economic and military aggression of the United States and Britain in 500 years of history.

    Simple math at work here. I love it when you are considered “employed” if you have money coming in. Then, by receiving handouts you are considered employed, and the unemployment percentage drops.

    I think that in Argentina “the distribution of wealth” means passing it around among your cohorts.

    I suppose by any means. I understand that her personal growth of income this year has been about 27%. If I remember the figures, mine went down at least 4%!!
