Mar 29th, 2013 - 10:52 am - Link - Report abuse 0President Fernandez and her economic team are proud of sharply reducing the country's foreign debt burden, and never failing to meet payments on the new bonds her government issued in exchange for the defaulted debt. But it still owes tens of billions to many other creditors, and until it settles those debts, its economy will be strangled by punishingly high borrowing costs, Rosner said.
Because of its deadbeat reputation, Argentina has had to look inward, essentially borrowing from its own people, fueling inflation, and trying to centrally manage the increasingly isolated economy by frequently changing the rules for exchanging currency, importing and exporting goods, setting prices and paying taxes.
Increasingly, Argentines are feeling trapped by the government controls, and foreign companies are being scared off.

They will devalue after the elections

This is going to be a big mess for the next gov't o clean up
@29 well that's how the Argentinian political system works. It's designed to cause a mess, let the next government clean it up, and rinse, lather, repeat ad infinitum. Without a new political system, not much will change. The question is: will the Peronist system collapse this time? I don't think so, the people have figured out what the system does but not who created it and who keeps it in place (at least most haven't, or have a vested interest in keeping the system running).

we had somebody try that exact same thing in court, or rather in a follow-up for non-payment of the award. Sadly for them the judge had seen them arrive at court in a nice shiney Mercedes - which he ordered impounded on the spot until payment was made.

Mar 30th, 2013 - 07:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I've been largely sympathetic to Argentina's position in this case all along, but in the wake of the various rulings that have already been handed down, Argentina doesn't really have a legal leg to stand on any more. That's why it's resorting to desperate measures like saying that Elliott is going to make an unconscionable amount of money if it wins: Where legal reasoning has failed, all that's left is an attempt to bypass the law and attempt to scramble onto the moral high ground. The problem, of course, is that it's really hard for the contumacious Argentines to occupy any kind of moral high ground at all, even when their opponent is a notorious vulture fund.
I can smell the desperation from here

Apr 01st, 2013 - 08:14 am - Link - Report abuse 0a) Condemning the weak minded and desperate to economic misery, and inevitable suicide, through widespread legalised loan-sharking = good for society
b) Suggesting the reading of a passage of a relevant religious text that specifically condemns usury, hence loan-sharking = racism, and bad for society.
Under your logic Jesus was a big fat racist too, when he got upset at the money lenders in the temple. He was just so darned racist about those Pharisees, with all their misery causing.
Well done you, Mr Inconsistent.
Yankee it seems some of them are taking on the tones of the late 1920 and early 1930 nazis of blaming the Jews for every mistake they have made. Either that or it is because of their new alliances with Syria and Iran.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 09:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0Perhaps they need to understand that lending money is a high rick business, as Argentina proves to the world every day, and that the interest is based on the risk of defaulting.

You have got Shed-time lathered up on his favourite subject: the protestant religion no less.
As an EX-CoE Head Altar Boy, it always confused me when the Rev condemned the Jews for crucifying Jesus. Had he not been crucified or killed in some other manner, how could he have ascended corporately mind you, into ‘heaven’?
Yet the amount of persecution, albeit under the guise of ‘money lending’ at times, throughout the centuries is beyond understanding: the deluded sods wouldn’t HAVE a religion without the Jews.
Shed, You are making yourself look very foolish, you are misinterpreting both the bible passage and my statement.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 11:18 am - Link - Report abuse 0Cap, Don't forget to throw in the Bolivians and Paraguayans too. The “others” that are ruining Argentina.
@53 Sure, because there is nothing humanists like more than a society bespoiled by widespread loan-sharking with everyone topping themselves because they 'made a mistake' and signed up to a wanga.com loan only to have their children kicked into the street. How you humanists have no humanity.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 12:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you want to enter into a discussion about how it is contradictory that 'god's chosen people' killed God's key earthly representative, do you not also think it is contradictory that in the 'old testament stories' one diety walking through the garden of eden quite happily with Adam, and another diety took it umbrage at the sight of the first dieties creation and demanded that all boys have their genitals mutilated at birth. Now the USA and Israel are a festival of male genital mutilation, and upon seeing their children are so disgusted at the sight of normality that they get some doctor who has thrown aside his 'Hippocratic oath' in order to slice up the boy's manhood.
Do you not see how the USA (and Israel) routinely protest about genital integrity in women and yet love nothing more than to see a mutilated child? Apparently in the USA the hospitals are encouraged to sell the baby children't offcuts in order to harvest stem cells for Oprah's face cream.
The truth is, and logic suggests, they're not the same god. Human rights associated with bodily integrity are ignored in the USA, and their doctors should all be arrested for damaging children. Finally, when are you humanists going to actually get some humanity?
@54 How could anyone misinterpret your celebration at the thought of debt collectors turning up to people's doors and breaking their legs because they 'made a wrong decisions. Next time you see your Rabbi you should ask him to explain what Ezekiell was saying. He will no doubt look a bit awkward at first, but it's without ambiguity and he'll have no option but to tell you.
In summary, I might be a fool but at least my parents didn't have me mutilated, unlike yours.

I would think Yankee, if this is all about just a simple misunderstanding of making a mistake, the first act would be to freely admit that mistake, then apoligize and atone. That's what a “humanist” would do, not spit on everyone involved....lol.

@58 It is unlikely that you would understand. You probably think that your parents having your genitals mutilated at birth was a loving act of kindness.
I'll let you get back to your massive celebration of widespread usury, and the resulting family turmoil.
Yankee now that the “wanna-be-a-real-country” of Argentina is about to come crashing down like a poorly biult house of cards, the new motto has moved from “vulture funds' to usury lenders. Again there is a serious lack of understanding in the concept of risk-rate-reward.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yankee, do you know what the original interest rates were of the original bonds. Also, can you refresh my memory and remid me of whom was holding the gun to Argentina and, to steal a phrase from Cheech and Chong, saying.....”Sign the papers old man”?
@60 Just so you know, this is not usury. It's debt collection. Usury is the immoral or unethical lending of money for profit through interest. However, in this case the original bondholders sold the defaulted debts to NML capital who in turn acted to collect on those debts. Because their is no agreed method for governments to declare themselves bankrupt these debts were not nullified and the debt collectors (NML capital) have sought to attach assets to this case in the same way as if normal debt collectors gain entrance to your house and 'attach' your tv and jewels.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0That's not usury, and calling them 'debt-collection funds' would be better fitting name.
Well now, I thank the professor shed-time prefusively for enlightening me due to your mispersceptive thinking on my understanding of usury versus debt collection.

Debt collectors, bargian buy out......call them what you want, until they become illegal via international treaties or law, I suggest you deal with the fact they are well within their rights to collect “TO THE FULL EXTENT OF THE LAW” no?
Did the moron nasty nestor think that there would be no repercussions to walking away from 70,000,000,000 in debt that they legally signed for? Or did he assume he and asslips would be long gone by then, only his inconvenient death screwed asslip and left her holding the tigher by the tail.
The way it should have hadn't would have been....“hey creditors, we have to talk” not...“hey creditors, this is what is going to happen like it or not”. That latter attitude fucked them to the hilt.
@62 I see the issue as more of a 'should countries be allowed to go into a state of bankruptcy whereby they are absolved of debts'. Individuals have this right, and so do companies when they are disolved. So should countries not have the same option?
Apr 01st, 2013 - 06:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I agree that telling debtors what they are or aren't getting didn't help at all in this case, and by working with their debtors they could probably have avoided all of this completely and NML debt collection agency wouldn't have been chasing them through the courts, looking for kneecaps.
The widespread male genital mutilation discussion was to draw a line under statements by USA folks on how moral and ethical they are and their capitalism is. When in reality they are so disgusted by the sight of their newborn children, that they mutilating their genitals without consent and the hospitals subsequently sell the harvested foreskins to face-cream companies. As if this is somehow evidence of a deeply moral society or highly ethical capitalism.

@64 Look, I know you're upset. I would be too if my parents had have non-consentually mutilated my genitals at birth. Of course you want to blame me for the fact doctors in the USA routinely ignore their Hippocratic Oath and engage in non-informed non-consentual mutilation of this type, by persuading parents that it looks more normal.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 06:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Your suggestions that I am somehow unilluminated, illogical or mentally unstable simply because I am from an unsavage society that doesn't mutilate newborn babies and sell the parts of their genitalia so rich people can have face cream (see [1][2][3]) , doesn't hold any water.
As I said, in most countries your paediatricians would be arrested for child abuse, performing mutilation without consent and the hospitals would be closed for profitting from the illegal harvesting of body parts.
You'll probably call me deranged as you sign for your own children to be mutilated too. That's just American capitalism for you, and at least it'll go to make a rich person's face look better. What do underanged people do in that country of yours? You should illuminate us.

70. You are saying there is a profit motive and Drs are up-selling circumcision.

That absolutely made my day
Thanks!
I love talking to retards
@70 Are you suggesting that the american witch-doctors don't bill the insurance companies for this completely unecessary procedure and the hospitals don't make any money for the harvesting of foreskins, and just give them to pharmaceutical companies for free? Of course they're up-selling circumcision, and of course there is a profit motive.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 07:34 pm - Link - Report abuse 0In answer to your previous question about parental consent: do you think widespread nose removal surgery (the benefits are less nose disease), billed to insurance companies, with parental consent would be acceptable? Or you think the recipient of said mutilation would be better off giving their own consent so they don't suffer psychologically and physically just because of widespread profiteering caused by savage social norms?
I think we all know the answer to that one. However, you're unlikely to see any of this because as someone who was mutilated, you are more likely to mutilate others in your family, in order to validate your own disabililty. That's why it's so difficult to stop this kind of savagery in Africa and USA.

Ahh my 3y/o used to argue the same way.

Yes, because accusing someone of being the 'homeless guy on the corner' is the height of maturity.
Apr 01st, 2013 - 08:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The crux of the matter is that regardless of the dialetics you are and your american chums are always going to be pro-male genital mutilation, and I and my post-enlightenment chums are always going to be against mutilating children. There is unlikely to be a consensus met on this topic.
I'm sure the crazy homeless guy thinks he won the argument too

No one wins anything, especially not those poor american 'victims'. I just hope you have the humanity to say NO when they insist on doing it to your own kids.

Apr 01st, 2013 - 10:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I understand that my favorite Guido's Moccasins (in burgundy) are now available at the totally unjustified price of around USD 125-150 a pair.
Apr 02nd, 2013 - 12:16 am - Link - Report abuse 0In the 1980s I paid around USD 25-35 a pair, which is what they're worth.
Can anyone let me know when the price has reached that level?
Man shed-time most be smiling like a whore on a military base. Quite impressive way to divert the topic of the deadbeats offer to pay MNL.
