Sep 12th, 2012 - 04:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0He he. I bet his daughter was proper pissed. Wouldn't it be easier if Argentina let all of her own citizens do as they please with their own money?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 05:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Economic liberty is the corner stone of freedom and democracy.
I bet the daughter threw a real hissy fit......looks the type
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Let us hope that the people of Argentina now see they can change the way their government behaves. They should flex their muscles more often.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0i wonder how many bruises timerman has now, hit by the housewife with her rolling pin.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0crazy people, like in a bad joke.
Wow, really? You guys at mercopress have nothing else to talk about?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0Economic “liberty” as you call it is the main reason for the great gap between the rich and poor. Governments need to intervene and watch out for the people's best interests and for what's better for the country. Capitalism doesn't give a crap about any of this. Ask around in Spain.
Only on Mercopress could you get a poster come on board and denounce liberty.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:51 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is very, very funny.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 07:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0So Tinman who obviously doesn't respect or follow the advice given by his dear government was found out and forced to have the celebrations in Buenos Aires.
The interesting thing here is the level of deceit of the Argentine government once more because if the public had not of found this out then it would of happened.
It's hardly surprising the country is in such a terrible state..............
Anyone want to run a book on where it will be...
Sep 12th, 2012 - 07:40 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'll punt on Burger King, Tigre......
She sure looks like her daddy, how lovely.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 07:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0'Jordana, the eldest of two daughters, has a BA from Tufts University in the US and a Philosophy and Public Policies Master from the London School of Economics.'
Sep 12th, 2012 - 08:09 am - Link - Report abuse 0But, but, Argentina has the best universities in the world!!!! Not.
I assume the issue is how would he have obtained the $ to pay for the event. There's clearly something dodgey going on even if it has been cancelled.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 08:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0@10 you would have to put a bag over her head....
Sep 12th, 2012 - 09:43 am - Link - Report abuse 0@11 and a job as 'advisor' to the government..... ho hum..
and isn't the London School of Economics where Mugabe learnt all he knows?
Yeah, but but to give it its' full title, The London School of Economics and Political Science, it has an awesome reputation. It was always seen as a bit radical in the early days and even now courts controversy for inviting dubious speakers. I actually think they should invite people from the political spectrum, however controversial. The students there are studying politics, economics etc. in their entirety and need to make informed opinions. To know and understand does not necessarily mean to agree, right?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:01 am - Link - Report abuse 0Back to the main story. I hope Argentines realise that they can effect change through public opinion and use it to curtail their bonkers President. She probably won't be going shoe shopping abroad for a while.
@14... agreed.... its just nice to be able to trot out Mugabe at times like this.....
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:04 am - Link - Report abuse 0LOL! Any time. : )
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:10 am - Link - Report abuse 0Will the mother of the bride be expected to sell her dollars back to the government - as ordinary Argentineans are being forced do? Or would that be too much sauce for the gander?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:17 am - Link - Report abuse 0Mugabe is the perfect example of how power corrupts. He was more Nelson Mandela rather than Joseph Stalin back in the day.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Absolute power without accountability corrupts absolutely.

Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Some great quote from Elaine.Wish they were original rather than just meaningless talking down.Doesnt everyone know that people hold the power if they really want to exert it.We might see the people of the UK exert it rather than taking the words of the Eton/Oxford elite and the crumbs that fall from their tables
Sep 12th, 2012 - 10:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0Ah, such envy @21. How do you feel about the elite educated of your government?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 11:27 am - Link - Report abuse 0And it is true that people have power in a democracy.
“Doesnt everyone know that people hold the power if they really want to exert it”
Sep 12th, 2012 - 12:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If only the Argentines understood that.

It is obvious by their actions that the argentiine governement does nothing in what they are doing by their actions.

Sep 12th, 2012 - 01:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Some more bookish quotes.Equally outstandingly poetic but lacking really meaning.If people don't have the power who does.Ah yes,the hidden people who get what they want,is it?Well are we going into the truth about democracy as it is illustrated under a capitalist system.Poppy will have something to say.Something.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 01:26 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yul, you are old commie, outdated and out of time like the system itself. You need to update your thinking into this century and stop embarrassing yourself.

Sep 12th, 2012 - 02:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I rather think that the LSE would be better than the Oxford Union debating society for CFK to be given the floor to expound on her national Economic Model.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 03:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The mix of students and staff from all over the world could debate her Model's strengths and weaknesses ... and could well lead her, and Argentina, off in a more productive direction.
28# it will soon be November and you can update your cutting edge knowledge in the hotels you will use.Your dollar won't go so far.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 03:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Poppy,you can ask your wife what to say if you are lost for something!, to say.You predictably reactionary man.
Geoff,it would not be very useful to debate one's model in any forum in the UK,the time would be much better spent debating it with all the people of Argentina.It is little'coquetish' remarks such as these,that reveal the Eurocentric thinking that dominates at present.The underdevelopment of certain parts of the world,as a consequence of this type of thinking,is overlooked or blamed on the countries who are being dominated and robbed of its wealth.Equal exchange to follow is it?
I wish Mr timmerman and his family happiness and I would not like to be associated with the petty jealous manifested and would ask Elaine to re-look at herself and her comment in 22#(bear in mind your fondness of the people of Argentina,Chile and other countries).
Yul, I think by Nov my U$ will buy around 10 pesos is that far enough for you? You Sir are an idiot.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 03:37 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What would happen if a foreign tourist arrived in Argentina with $1,000 in their back pocket. Would they be allowed to leave with their change if they only spent a couple of hundred while in Argentina?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 03:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If Timerman can pay for a wedding in Paris for his daughter with his money and complying with the law, I wouldn't have any problem with that, althought I think it's unethical coming from a minister to do such a display in a time of restriction. But it appears the law is not equal for all. He should account for the way he gets the currency. if I want to purchase foreign currency to travel, I need to say all the places where I'm going. And that, according to the law, is not the Government's business. I won't tell where I'm going and how many days I'm staying. They are even planning to request that from the airlines, which is against the data protection law. But I understand my traveling abroad isn't a national priority. What certainly is, is that the foreign currency policy is stopping sales of property, it's boosting inflation which affects everyone's cost of living, it's stopping capital goods from entering the country and even medicines, it's giving farmers half of what their product is worth, it's stopping investments, it's causing a flight of capital from the banks making credit more inaccessible to Argentines.
Sep 12th, 2012 - 04:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Porteno55 he did not even try to hide it.....talk about slpping the argentine people in the face, then spit on them to boot!
Sep 12th, 2012 - 04:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It seems the multi-millionaire, elite that make up the Argentine government are not even allowing any crumbs to fall from their table to the Argentine people.

Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Camoron and Blair (Right vs left paradigm)...yeah, they know all about that there in UK.
“And it is true that people have power in a democracy.”
Yeah really? That's why i live (well actually hope the US returns to that model)..in a Republic. Go read the difference between a democracy and a Republic.
In the UK..the queen's answer of what she represent:
(Feudel) Queen Elizabeth II:“ I represent a system that's far behind capitalism and socialism.”
Such a nice old lady.
Are you saying that the USA is in a better shape because you are a republic?
Sep 12th, 2012 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You are what you are, all governments are corrupt in some way, and its them that runs the dam country.
So it really is irrelevant if you live in a republic or and other rule of government,
if they do a good job, the country will benefit, if the leaders fxck it up, the country will suffer, is this not true.
And china is doing very well, North Korea is not.
Switzerland is doing very well, and France in not.
And the wheel goes around.
Still,
If our badly run government came out of the EU, we would have billions to spend on us,, instead of them .lol.
..................
very nice and polite lady.
No envy Elaine.You are happy with the crumbs you manage to pick up?The Yanquis don't think they pick up any crumbs they think they're to well educated(indoctrinated to some),for them to pick up crumbs.

Sep 13th, 2012 - 12:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0I have said marriage arrangements is a personal choice.
The Globe magazine USA announce that Prince Harry met his “granny” to tell her he don't want to be “Prince” anymore and plans to reside in the southwest of the USA, probably, in Las Vegas, Nevada on about 2014 when he receives inherited monies from his mother Diana Spencer.
The Globe magazine said Prince Harry understands that as a “Prince” he cannot have the lifestyle he enjoys so much which is wild sex parties!
Prince Harry also likes to play polo in Argentina.
As you all can see people regardless of nationalities or position, have different choices where to get marry or where to reside.
But simian 2012, he clearly doesn't have a choice now does he!

But then again, those programs might be too advanced for you, why not watch the tellytubbies instead, right up your alley.

Sep 17th, 2012 - 12:50 am - Link - Report abuse 0If Mr. Timerman is a typical Argentine, he'll have most of his money abroad, not in Argentina. It's quite possible that the greenbacks have been in Uruguay for some time, in a bank account in his name.
