What a dilema open imports for input to manufacture. However that means U$ leave and what will they use to pay their debt. Retain the import lockdown, keep the U$ dollars to pay the debt and kill the manufacture base in doing so. It's like shoot me in the heart or shoot me in the brain.

What was this guys option, of course he has to “support” TMBOA if not I think he would have INDEC on his business and Home doors by the end of the day! Like all good dictators she uses the law as a hammer on her “enemies”.

#1 If that really was the dilemma why is industry supporting Cristina and calling her a pro-industry President. This is a clear case of putting the real economy above the financial chicanery represented above all by Romney

BK yankee summed it up fairly well. What does Romney have to do with this piece? Focus or take your meds.

What a delusion Argentina is living - especially those that support her policies.

I read it as a nervous plea. They need imports to keep trading but don't want to anger the mad President.

As did I without wanting to ignite and set off her highness. My friend said the speech she gave the other night, she was saying that those countries that complained if import barriers are making up lies as there are no barriers.

12. Unless you go to a store and see all of the empty shelves, or get laid off because the factory has to shut down for lack of parts, or or or or
