CFK defends Argentina’s economic model and capacity to honour debts

Full article 97 comments

While addressing the nation from the Buenos Aires stock exchange floor, Argentine President Cristina Fernández strongly defended the policy of drastically cutting debts, which guarantees “greater independence”, and of stimulating the economy because only with resources can debts be paid, “the dead don’t pay debts”.

    Argentina might well have the capacity to honour her debts although I doubt it. What Argentina lacks it a willingness to honour her debts.

    The less said about the 'economic model' the better.

    “cancelling all liabilities with the IMF in 2006, which was achieved with no access to global money markets.”

    Isn't it rather easy to simply cancel debts without borrowing money to do so? Is that an achievement to an Argentine?

    @ 3 This was achieved with money from Venezuela. In reality they just transferred the debt from one place to another.

    The more they talk about how good the K model is working the worse it must actually be. EVERYONE is talking collapse now, even the inner circle is trying to figure out how to save the Ks legacy. This article basically talks about the same things I have been since I have been posting here.

    “”“”In the speech CFK recalled how Argentina became indebted particularly during the last military dictatorship“”“”

    Out of interest can anybody tell me if there were ANY Argentines involved in the dictatorship period as it seem to me that there could not possibly have been so: the current Argentines blaming practically everything upon them and taking no responsibility for anything during that period.

    Thus one can only assume the dictatorship was comprised entirely of Brits and Falklands Islanders.

    Is that true?

    This is so easy. Just check out “financial” events. How many people has CFK stolen money from? Less her “cut”, of course. Virtually everyone in argieland, except the CFK clique and supporters, is suffering. Such a wonderful economic “model”. Inflation heading for 35%. Wage increases headed in the same direction but lagging. Underfunded and “inexperienced” fuel industry. Failing industry and agriculture. Excessive and inappropriate taxation. Corruption. Widespread poverty, hidden wherever possible. Major criminal activity. In addition to the criminal activity of the “government”.
    @8 No, there were no argies involved. Everything was done by “little green men” wearing “costumes”. This includes the hundreds of thousands of aliens that congregated in the Plaza del Mayo, surrounding streets and other towns and cities. I wonder why the “aliens” didn't use their advanced science to win the war when the British Task Force arrived?

    Here's the truth. argieland is composed of around 40 million war criminals. Criminals who were more than happy to use their psychoses to justify their criminal actions. Criminals who have accepted the same psychoses subsequently and are, therefore, just as psychotic as their “older” generation. Let''s not forget that argies are genocidal by nature. They seem to be inordinately proud, instead of ashamed, that there are no indigenous people left in argieland.

    Really and truly, they are pretty sickening things. They must not be allowed to hide their past and pretend to be human beings.

    Gustbury's son is in a private school because the state ones are sh!t.

    I don't blame him, I wouldn't want my child to have a sub-standard education.

    However, Gustbury, it's nice that YOU can afford all of this, but the majority of Argentine's can't.

    Whose fault is that? Whose fault is it that Argentina's state schools aren't very good at educating people?

    Hmm, I wonder if it's the governments fault? After all, it's the governments responsibility to run things like this. But Argentina always refuses to accept any responsibility for anything - period.

    Until Argentinians as a majority oppose corruption in government, then Argentina will always be like this, living hand to mouth despite having massive amounts of natural resources, always defaulting, always in debt.

    Argentina isn't in any worst shape then austerity riddled europe or war riddled middle east, but Argentine might be in better shape then most because there is no more british pirates in our ports anymore. And we will soon all be fishing in Islas Malvinas Argentina to pay our debt. With our resources as it was the plan of the banks many years ago.

    The level of corruption is what surprises me the most. Every government has some sort and level of corrupt individuals, it's sociologially normal. But the level of it in Argentina is astounding, as if thats organized crime in itself.

    @17 Yes, I have visited a number of state schools in Argentina and I wouldn't house a dog in them. They don't have enough books, chairs, desks or even loo-roll. They are filthy and haven't been decorated since about 1940. All this might be forgiveable if the standard of teaching was good but it isn't. If the teachers bother to turn up - and that is a rare event - the teaching is poor. There is no incentive for students to do well because they know absolutely anyone can get into a state university just so they can bum around for a few more years doing nothing. The idea of leaving home and going out to work is anathema to most of them.

    I raised the point because the CFKC hard-liners would have you believe they have a fantastic free education system and anyone with the money to use private schools is 'rich' and, therefore, the enemy.

    I can only assume Gustbury's 'thanks' is for the bribes he is picking up working for the government.

    “and of stimulating the economy because only with resources can debts be paid, “the dead don’t pay debts””

    I agree but how are you going to stimulate the economy Mrs Presidente? Economic growth? No the growth is shrinking. How about capital funds? No dont have any of those? Foreign Investment? Ummm, noo struggling with at the moment. Trade surplus? Well, we have kind of pissed of the rets of the world and thats shriking to. SO you admit you made a mistake? No I defend my dead idiot of a husbands economic model and all my boot lickers opps sort I meant advsiors tell me it is working. I dont really udnerstand tho I dont really understand economics.

    “Argentina doesn’t print dollars. The US does, and it passes on its problems to the rest of the world,” she accused, and said that Argentina obtains dollars through:
    international tourism - shrinking,
    foreign investments - shrinking
    and the trade balance surpluses - shrinking.

    despite the fact we honour debts, and despite that in 2001 they never warned about the debacle that was going to sweep the country and the people’s savings and jobs”.

    Oh honouring your debt, you mean like in 2001 with the world slargets ever soverign deby crisis. You never paid your debts you just restructured them so you only had to pay a small percentage of what you actualy owed. even if this want true do you not believe that the credit agencies may be cocnerned about shrinking growth, rampant inflation and a govenment following nationlist measures including seizing the assets of foreign companies as well as isolating itself from the rest of the world.

    ”Some of that almost makes sense………..”

    I say:
    Yes it does…..........................................................., doesn’t it?

    “This isn’t a reason to celebrate, but to reflect”, said CFK.

    ”The Boden 2012 payment, worth 2.2 billion dollars will represent a further decrease of Argentina’s foreign debt“, said CFK.

    “Argentina doesn’t print dollars. The US does, and it passes on its problems to the rest of the world”, said CFK.

    “We need dollars so our businesses can buy basic supplies in order to maintain production“, said CFK.

    ”Nestor Kirchner argued before the IMF the need of no more austerity, but rather growth because “the dead don’t pay debts”, said CFK.

    Argentina’s sovereign debt ratio to GDP dropped from 168% in 2002 to 41.8% at the end of 2011”, said CFK.

    ”Ten years ago Argentina needed 815% of its reserves to pay foreign currency sovereign debt in private hands, but nowadays it is down to 88%”, said CFK.

    ”This new profile of the debt gives Argentina an immense independence to address world market volatility and to act effectively against the club of the ‘debt tempters’, those who recommend Argentina takes debt because they are sure it is the state that will end paying”, said CFK.

    “We must continue on the path of eliminating debts to avoid falling in the dramatic situation of the developed world, which is also having an impact on us”, said CFK.....................

    Anyhow…………
    You seem as surprised about all this as Alex Betts was first time he visited the Continent and found out that we were not all Gauchos hunting down Guanacos and Ñandúes with our Boleadoras as he was taught at Malvinas School………..

    ---Argentina doesn’t print dollars. The US does, and it passes on its problems to the rest of the world”, said CFK. ---

    Says multi millionaire president who was happily using and trading in dollars until media pressure forced her to -pesify- a significant cash holding (and likely not all of her cash holdings ) and later still to charge in pesos not dollars in her hotel.

    ---We need dollars so our businesses can buy basic supplies in order to maintain production“, said CFK. ----

    The problem isn't the dollar - its the import restrictions and tariffs

    ---.....an immense independence to address world market volatility----

    what exactly does that mean?

    an -----IMMENSE----- independence?

    If Argentina is independent and that independence is -----IMMENSE----- than -the global crisis- shouldnt be much of a problem should it?

    Argentina suffers most from drug-related crimes, says FTI Consulting
    This year, Chile is at a level 2 of insecurity, on a 1 to 5 sale (1 being the safest country and 5 the most insecure). Level 2 is labelled 'stable without changes'. Reasons for Chile's positive ranking include the respect for the country's police forces (Carabineros) and the punishments for petty crimes such as robberies and vehicle theft. Chile shares this position with Uruguay and Costa Rica.

    Data used in the study came from local police stations and NGOs. Like in 2009, Chile's evaluation said “only a few regions show a high murder rate.” FTI Consulting says “the lack of security continues as the main concern of city dwellers and the private sector in the whole region, from Argentina to Mexico.”

    High risk countries have shown no improvements since 2009. Haiti and Venezuela remain the most dangerous countries in the region, with a level 5 ranking (most insecure). Compared to last year, Venezuela's situation worsened, since it rose from level 4 to level 5.

    Haiti, after the earthquake in January is also being plagued by higher delinquency. El Salvador, Honduras, Guatemala and Mexico follow closely with a level 4 ranking (high insecurity). The latter country's problems, according to the report, are mostly due to drug trafficking.

    Argentina also suffers most from drug-related crimes, despite its efforts to improve the city police. It is still a high risk country with city crimes as the country's second cause of danger. FTI says Brazil, rated level 4 is handling its security problem best.

    im sure figures like these, and warnings from embassies really encourage tourists!!!

    Why wouldn't we the Falkland Islanders be the ones who are a little concerned? I think we're entitled to be. We're the ones who stand to lose our homes, not the Malvinistas. Nothing is at stake for you. Scared is way OTT though. After the intensity that CFK went at this with over the last 12 months there is clearly no legitimate way for her to get her hands on our islands. More like 'pretty interested' sums it up nicely for me. In fact I definitely get more humour out of reading Malvinista dribble on here than I get concern that CFK is making any progress.

    As for the Argentine economy: I think CFK is actually doing a very good job and I would encourage her to keep it up.

    I happen to live in Finland, and if you so wish it, i would be more than happy to to take the ferry or plane from Helsinki to Kobenhaven, and meet up with a person like yourself, and show some, how did you put it “some action”.

    Incase ur wandering, i happen to live in Turku, but have family in Vantaa, so trust me when i say that it would not be a problem to make my way to Denmark.

    @54 I'm happy with Danes. But you aren't one, are you? You're just a little piece of sh*te cowering out of the way. How about going to LatAm and learning how to fight? I do apologise. You're short on guts, aren't you? Tell you where I'll meet you. If my country agrees, I'll meet you on the shores of the Falkland Islands. And we'll find out what you have in the way of guts. Because I'll be happy to spill yours all over the sand and jump on them.
    @64 I'm sorry to have to admit that I'm quite old now. Is it OK for me to smash your head with a rock? My first thought was to smash your balls, but you clearly don't have any as you can't be honest about where you are. I forgot. Argie=liar. Is it OK with you if I bring my kukri? I think I will be entitled to a trophy. Your head will be a good start. But I also fancy the idea of your 2 inch dick where you could suck on it.
    @67 Been licking CFK's sh*t again? Fresh and steaming, was it?
    @71 So that would be an argie seafink. Whose vessel are you stowing away on? Do the world a favour. Go clean the keel for a couple of hours and then see whether you can “surface” through the propeller arc. Can you hold your breath that long? Like I care.
    @72 Thanks for identifying yourself, nazi. Please state your serial number and whether you were in the SS, the Waffen SS, the Wehrmacht or are just a civilian/descendent awaiting extermination.
    @73 Always good to see stupidity.
    @74 “Think” means “Twinky”. Most likely a necrophiliac, transsexual, butt-f*cking rapist. How to describe argieland? Sh*te attracts sh*te.
    @75 In Copenhagen I'm sure you can find many statues with upturned hands to enable you to satisfy your perversions. If you get “moved along” try the mooring bollards aboard ship. A couple of dozen extra turns with a cable should make them fit in your butt. Except for the 2 inch all round clearance. You must should try to get satisfaction from the business end of a cannon! Tears of anticipation, assf*ck?

    The article is excellent, anyway if we could get much more economic autonomy, i hope that in next years, we can erradicate defenetly the structural poverty that we still have, and diminish significantly the inflation level. We improved so much our social situation, but we are still a very unequal society. I trust c. f. k., i know that despite some negative aspects that her gov. has, like the denounces of corruption cases, which are being investigated by the justice, she will continue making a great progress for us. What i will always admire from her, is her bravery, she's one of the few presidents who made front some of the most powerfull corporations which have always conditioned all the governments, in fact they made fell tyhe administrations of all those politic leaders who weren't functional to their interests. Like i said a couple of weeks ago, the best legacy that she can leave to us, is her bravery, we dont need only honest presidents, we need brave men and women, for all this reasons, despite some contradictions and some negative aspects of her government, nobody can deny that she made a lot for us, and i'm sure that she'll be remembered by most us, not only as a good president, but like a great woman.

    Austerity anyone?? Yes sure in Europe. Lol no wonder the envy is so great, their attitude makes it impossible to sympathize with them. I am sure trashing Argentina will not help them solve the austerity riddled europe. Go well you live and learn.
    #80, #81, #82 SussieUS is right about british homosexuals who come to Argentinas news links to get attention because the poor ugly short fat homos wouldn't even collectivly gather enough beauty to attract a pervert. This might be the reason they travel the world in search of young poor children to abuse.

    #85 yes we have an economic model because we dont solve economic problems with austerity, I think we overcame dependency on foreign debt with support from the national bank and Argentine citizens who will be collecting interests on their loaned capital, soon there might be more Argentine's surfing the net then british.

    @86 - Pirat-hunter

    Common sense would suggest that you can't borrow yourself out of debt, as the debt just keeps increasing and you end up robbing peter to pay paul (just like CFK is doing at the minute).

    Argentina has still to honour it's foreign debts which stand in the billions. Until it does that, no one in the world (with the exception of Chavez) would be willing to loan money to Argentina.

    CFK is busy doing a very dangerous juggling act, kept up with support from Chavez, but even he doesn't have bottomless pockets.

    The only way for Argentina to truly make enough money, not only to pay off it's sovereign debt but to have enough left over to benefit the lives of ordinary Argentines, is the oil and gas industries.

    Unfortunately CFK's insistance on capping the prices, whilst helping the poor in the short term, will damage the poor and the rest of Argentina in the long term.

    That's why no foreign investors will touch Argentina with a barge pole right now, no way to make any profit. Venezula's assistance might help, but offshore drilling is an expensive and not always successful venture. They money may run out before the black gold can be struck.

    Who is Boudicea? No such person. Do you mean Boudica Queen of the Iceni tribe? An English tribe, and I thought you were a rabid Scottish nationalist, and here you are trying to steal other country's Queens.

    Feel free to compare CFK with Cleopatra and Boudica, boths lives ended in tragedy, both killed themselves, Cleopatra using the Eygption method of a poisonous asp, rather than being taken prisoner by the Romans; and Boudica by her own sword, rather than being taken prisoner by the Romans.

    CFK is free to take her own life any time she wants too, but I doubt she'll ever be remembered with the likes of Cleo and Boudica. I doubt she'll even be remembered with the likes of Eva Peron.

    CFK will be remembered along the likes of Emelda Marcos.
