    Well, we will soon see if CFK's neck is smooth.

    Boudou talks like all the CFK lapdogs: I for one cannot understand this 'fight in the trenches' crap when we all know the trenches are only there because of the money robbing bastards in the 'Government'

    All part of the, 'the world is against us and we have to fight' mentality that fits the model of Peronism. Remember, it is every other country that is at fault for any problems in Argentina. Note how all their panic policies are being sold as 'to protect Argentina from the world recession'. Nope, the problems are all of their own making.

    Welcome back,
    Time to see what’s been happening whilst you was away,
    Perhaps your government screwed it up for you, or perhaps they have done what they were asked to do, but alas you are back, fit and well,
    We are all waiting to see what you will now do, have you pushed to far, not enough , more to come ,
    Perhaps you may decide to give up your claim, and go quietly, either way, no doubt we will all hear from you soon, your move I believe .
    .

    Hole in one ?

    As vice president Boudou tells us Argentinas debt as a % of gdp falls to 14% news comes in that the Citys debt is now $1.6 trillion dollars just as the country falls into yet another recession.The telegraph tells us alone in 2014 the interest will up by 30,000,000,000 dollars.Thats just the increase in interest payments.The city is in dire straights its so vulnerable to anything going wrong.

    O gaga

    As usual you have got the figures wrong. If the UK were paying just the increase as you say it is, that would be 18.75% annual interest. We pay in the very low single figures.

    Calm down, we will be alright unlike Argentina. See my post on Bow-Wows 'Last Rally' speech before the Queen of plastic comes back if you want a sensible analysis of the state of the economy. Then you can see for yourself where the problems are, IF YOU CAN TAKE THE BLINDS OFF AND OPEN YOUR MIND TO THE TRUTH FOR ONCE.

    BTW When you insult me (and others) in Espanol, like you did, I will report you to MercoPress again and have your post removed again. So don't go blaming other people for the removal: it was me.

    8. Again comparing Argentina #51 PPP index to UK #7 doesn't do you any favors. It is impossible to correlate. You can only look at the big picture and that is; England has been a rich world power for 300 years BEFORE Argentina existed!
    These foolish statements you make is typical for your countrymen. Remember they didn't think UK cared if Argentina took the Falklands in 82, didn't have the $, equipment or fortitude to do anything about the invasion. Boy were you wrong!

    Argentina is 1 drought away from total economic collapse, you are in a drought, if it last 3-5 weeks longer you won't be able to support the peso any longer. Maybe the rain gods will smile on Argentina and everything will be fine, I would suggest a dance and sacrifice daily.

    UK, USA are retrenching after losing their way with a series progressive gov'ts like have been in Argentina since Peron. We have woken up, you haven't. We will fix ourselves you won't.
    Very shortly you will be hat in hand begging the IMF to intervene. I don't think they will, they're a bit too busy for whiners right now. No one in the Northern Hemisphere cares if Argentina collapses. We used to need Arg for stability in the region, now we don't. You are Brazil and Chile's problem now. I hope you can count on them. I don't think you can but who knows.
    FYI if Arg loses their case in the US Supreme Court 6-9B of the reserves in Switzerland will be frozen. Yet another little something to ponder...

    Umm flow of U$ and drought are connected and yeah they'll get you good.
    I have found as soon as you have RG Ministers doing press conferences saying everything is great...it's the exact opposite of whatever they are preaching about and it is all about to come tumbling down.
    BTW 4.35 today...and how many Millions of U$ did BCRA spend to keep it to only a penny up? I guess we'll see tomorrow.

    14 You poor imbecile they are buying dollars the BCRA reserves are going up.the demand is for pesos.This sums up your complete ignorance of the reality.

    Do you think they're trying to depreciate the peso? No, they are trying to keep it from crashing! They are buying to increase the demand and they use U$ to do it. More U$= Less Peso =Cheaper U$= Higher Peso, so when they spend 10s and 100s of Millions a day to keep the peso afloat AND it still goes up its a problemo.
    BCRA reserves are depleting very quickly why do you think they are worried about imports? Are you seriously that dumb?

    Ogaga has not read Bow-wows 'Last Rally' item yet and my comment on it OR (more likely) he is in denial of the real situation which you and I KNOW is a real threat to the economy.

    Remember me talking about the un-availability of items due to the import restrictions? And how it will have a terrible consequence to price? Then our dumb deluded O'G swore there were plenty of everything on the shelves and that prices will not go up?
    Well today I saw that clothes irons, if you can find one, are 149% more than last year....gosh what idiots these people are... denying that economic rules don't apply to them is like saying gravity doesn't apply to them either.
    Slowing economy and run away inflation...we call that stagflation in the real world and it's really really really BAD.
    This is getting very fun to watch!
