The head of Argentina’s Lower House Budget and Finance Committee and former Finance minister Roberto Feletti said that the whitewashing bill should allow the entrance of “around 5 billion dollars” into Argentina’s market. For the MP, the government is “fighting a historic battle to block” what he called a “market coup.” Read full article

    It's amazing that the savings of some people are considered a “hoarding of dollars”.

    Another bandaid solution that first fix the underlying issue.

    Bringing US$5 billion “back” into the “system” will be nothing by this time next year. Then what will they do?

    and only 1 week ago the economy minister (I want to leave) said

    “Sure, the price of the ‘blue’ dollar is going to continue climbing, but nobody cares about the US dollar in Argentina”, was the reply.

    left hand, meet right hand!

    I am sure this all has to do with their inability to pay for fuel this winter.
    YPF production of Nat Gas is DOWN DOWN DOWN and nothing is going to stop that trend anytime in the near-medium future.

    They're basically going to be trading all their SOY revenue to Fuel by next year.

    We should have the AFIP train our DEA in the way they hunt down dollars and apply it to drug hunting.

    Why is it with these twats that everything the government does is “fighting a historic battle”?

    Perhaps it's because they only have the despicable history of murdering their indiginous people and throwing people out of aeroplanes over the Plate to look back on.

    This bunch really do need to get a grip on reality. A WHOLE US 5 Bn!

    Look at the language used in this article. Written by Englishmen for Englishmen. Nothing for Americans here.

    I see these twats are taking to referring to themselves by their continental name. I would want to also if I was an RG to hide that fact, just like these twat trolls pretend to be another nationality.
    Perhaps we can ask MP to have a translate page to Guarani, Naragansett, Algonquin or Mapudungun because the twat toby thinks they are not catering to “Americans”? Toby, real Americans are not liked in Argentina, the RG's are still persecuting the real Americans in RGland. In fact even the UN has called on the leader of the RG tribe, known as “asslipians kirchnerfuckians” to stop evicting the indigenous people from the own land.

    yesw.....RG love's the new game they found.....“let's beat and kill the remaining natural people”

    http://en.mercopress.com/2012/09/19/un-calls-on-argentina-to-stop-eviction-of-indigenous-peoples-from-their-lands

    So what American language are you talking about? The one that came from Europe....English or Spanish? From native North Americans (Naragansett, Algonquin) or native South Americans...the one's your government promotes killing off to this day(Guarani, Mapudungun?

    You should never forget you spanish language is a SPINOFF language of Latin from the Roman's, that is to say...EUROPE. EVERYONE that is not indigenous to North and South America have an IMMIGRANT HISTORY.....period.

    Nice attempt at English Vestige..........of course English is a hybrid language from 2000 years, yet European. Has anyone stated otherwise about the English language for you to contribute that well thought out post? What is your point?

    Need I explain the point of my post for you?

    Cristina is destroying investment appeal in Argentina with all her threats and such. What a disaster, so much to invest in but the risk outweighs it all.

    I think we are all aware of you Brits talking points about America. But I think that a Brit propaganda site directed at america should have the good sense to use US English. Is a that too much to ask?

    I wonder how long CFK can ignore all of the mounting evidence of her corruption?
    This is not going unnoticed in the USA.

    “He went on to warn that “Argentines hoard around 40 billion dollars in the country and about three times more abroad”

    Yes Senor Felletti-it doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out why-wonder how much money he has stashed overseas?
