Oct 12th, 2012 - 06:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0How many “tasty tacos” can you buy NOW, Soozy-Woozy ???
LOL!
Oct 12th, 2012 - 07:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0btw it's empanadas there, not tacos :P much smaller than tacos
And a decent empanada there now costs nearly 6 pesos. So according to Cristina's calculations(13 pesos to eat), they can afford TWO empanadas per day ;)
Well seem even for liar inflation have been down 18% (24% annually).
Oct 12th, 2012 - 09:24 am - Link - Report abuse 0Last year they were projecting 27% for 9 month (annually 35%)
Even IMF archenemy of Argentina had said the this statistics are not accurate and over played.
After 7D when “ClarinMiente” and “La Destruccion” go for scrap inflation will be reported accurately as should be.
All prices in Argentina now are quite stable and some have dropped.
You're a comedian Dany.
Oct 12th, 2012 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0Dany, You may be surprised to learn that in legitimate countries when GDP falls Inflation falls with it,
Oct 12th, 2012 - 10:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0What you have is NEGATIVE Growth ( Recession) and the highest inflation in the Americas.
It is call STAGFLATION.
It is the just a few steps from Devaluation, Hyperinflation and Depression.

It's suddenly dawned on me and now all makes sense. Danyburger is a goldfish and can only recall prices from 20 seconds ago. It also explains the quality of his posts.

How long since you have been to Argentina.
@ general Friday ramble:
Just a couple of months now until my town is flooded by Argies on holiday, going crazy in the supermarkets and stores buying goods they can’t get at home. I have an apartment that I rent out over the summer to Argies. Contrary to what many on this forum think they are generally great people the Argies. We tend to get the ones from Mendoza and San Juan who are not as arrogant as their porteño compatriots. One thing they all have in common is that they despise CFK (much more than Nestor). It makes you realize where the CFK support base is.
Let's see:

11@ the food selection is really poor in Argentina. They have more variety in Bolivia. When i went to Argentina i thought they would a have rich variety of foods, but no. Even the beef is not like it is advertised and almost all food tastes strange, different that it should. Well, tuna tastes like tuna.

We get it, very very interesting, but please use more brevity.
Perhaps challenge the trolls with a sentence or two, and argue it out...

Oct 12th, 2012 - 06:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You forgot the biggest news story about the trains. When I was in Argentina, in February, a train crashed and killed FIFTY people, and injured hundreds more.
Argentine infrastructure, it's all from 1940-1970's and hasn't been maintained at ALL, still just slowly dilapidating.

Oct 12th, 2012 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 018% IN NINE MONTHS.
Read a headline, they're easy!
That is 22% for the year
..unless-the speed of inflation is increasing. 24% is closer to accurate than INDEC.
U.S. is 1.7 this year ;) Good job, technocrats with numeracy!!!!

Oct 12th, 2012 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 018/9*12=24% ;o)
I was in BA the week before that crash in the train station. I think is was brake failure or something. I took one of those train to El Tigre.
Oct 12th, 2012 - 08:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Ayayay....no Argentine believe USA figures, they think it can be manilpulated like in Argentina. Even though the world knows it is independant of the executive and legislative offices.
More Argentine bond sell offs......really sending the yields through the roofs. The peso needs to be at 6 to a dollar by years end to keep inflation under 40%. Why are they still allowing cfk the have oxygen?
@ Chris, you're so right, lol

Oct 13th, 2012 - 02:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I have a wad of Argentine supermarket tickets covering April 2009 to April 2012 which shows the real inflation based on real purchases with article number, -name and price, so one can compare.
2009: 16%
2010: 18%
2011: 25%
2012: 24%
2009-2012: 212%
ST. John......stop fucking with their heads by using actual facts. Inflation does not matter dumpburger, he does not live there. He's a refugee those sought political asylum.
