He talks and talks but never DOES anything either about infrastructure or education. Isnt the Presidency supposed to be the executive branch of government? He seems more interested in the side issues of legalizing marijuana, abortion and gay marriage than the real problems that our country faces and will face

Shame about Uruguay's close “association” with argieland. Also a shame about the “association” with venezuela. And Brazil. You are known by the people you associate with. Corrupt, criminal argieland. Tyrannical, dictatorial venezuela. Unscrupulous Brazil.

They need to reinstate the railways and get them working and transporting goods around the country. Far more efficient than building more roads.
