What a surprise!!!! After her defeat in the primaries we are seeing a more business friendly CFK handing out goodies left, right & centre....... maybe if she had started off that way back in 2011 Argentina wouldn't be in the mess it's in now???

However it makes one wonder who is going to pay for all the tax refunds, health care spending & nationalizing of the train lines since the Banco Central is losing approx. 1 billion dollars per month & will run out of reserves by the end of 2014 if not sooner

It seems like inflation at over 30% & the dollar at 20/1 next year.... get ready for the fireworks ladies!!!

@1 Already by 2011 it was just to late for the “Modelo” the country was already into a trade deficit and a energetic crisis looming over the reserves of the Central Bank. It just happened to coincide with CFKs political peak. The same week the second term Cristina team was sworn in office in December 2011 the dollar clamp started and importations ware blocked for good by Moreno

What is it with her? Her public appearances all seem to be opening some factory or new facility and saying how it's evidence of how great her policies are. Can you imagine if the British PM spent his working day doing the same sort of stuff - surely that's what we have D list celebrities for?

Reminds me of the way that dictatorships conduct themselves, all about the cult of personality.

The only problem is that TMBOA hasn't GOT a personality unless you count the “Two Yuan whore” one.

I see she's been dancing again. Reminds me a bit of Patsy from Absolutely Fabulous. She looks drunk or high, maybe both.
