Water finds its own level, so these two deserve each other. A poor reflection on the Uruguayan political class that such a person becomes President, Uruguay's answer to Gordon Brown.

Jan 03rd, 2014 - 09:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0It defeats me why such a useless president like Mujica continues to kow tow to that bitch, when all she does is treat Uruguay like a second rate Argentine province.
I'm sure that a lot of her animosity comes from the many millions of Argentines who smuggle their hard won dollars out of Argentina to place them securely in Montevideo or Sao Paolo. Less money that she can bag for her retirement fund.
Speaking of which, that can not be far off now. If there are power outages as well as rampant inflation, strikes of all sorts and massively increased fuel costs, then the catastrophic end is only a short distance away.
Cristina acts as a dictator in many aspects, though the majority of Argentinians hate her now due to her failed very arbitrary economic policies. I belive thate she stifled its economy, causing extremely high inflation, unrest. She does not have any brain on economy (cabeza vacio sobre economia). Real estates and construction are major industry in Argentina, but due to shortage of US$, it is standstil:now foreigners will buy any realestates for many years to come, even if Argentina lifts the current restrictions, and she even has caused manufacturing investments: for example, even already established companies such as Toyota and John Deer encounter problems in bringing parts, and new startups such as Honda may wait until CFK and her faction go to cemetry.
Jan 03rd, 2014 - 09:30 am - Link - Report abuse 0Also Argentina is very bureaucratic country and nobody knows all the details of laws and regulations. For example, AFIP (Tax Office) does not know the very complicated rules,one office sats this and another says that. In any event, Argentina is now a bankrupt underdeveloped country.
Surely Pepe doesn't expect Argentina to allow Uruguayans to participate in a dialogue about Uruguay?

Or, as Jeremy Clarkson said, in an uncharacteristic glimpse of insight “The Cunt Brown”.
Perhaps Pepe’s tongue no longer excites TMBOA.

Stevie is conspicuous by his absence on this topic, this does not fit with brotherly Latam love mantra at all. But as we all know, the truth must be avoided at all costs.

The folks who are getting the FREE STUFF don't like the folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF, because:-
The folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF can no longer afford to pay for both the FREE STUFF and their own stuff.
And the folks who are paying for the FREE STUFF want the FREE STUFF to stop.
And the folks who are getting the FREE STUFF want even more FREE STUFF on top of the FREE STUFF they are already getting!
Now... The people who are forcing the people who pay for the FREE STUFF have told the people who are RECEIVING the FREE STUFF that the people who are PAYING for the FREE STUFF are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.
So... The people who are GETTING the FREE STUFF have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the FREE STUFF by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their FREE STUFF and giving them the FREE STUFF in the first place.
We have let the FREE STUFF giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting FREE STUFF than paying for the FREE STUFF.
Now understand this.
All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between200and 250 years after being founded.
The reason?
The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.
The number of people now getting FREE STUFF outnumber the people paying for the FREE STUFF.
Failure to change that spells the end of the (state here) as we know it.
ELECTION 20XX IS COMING
A Nation of Sheep Breeds a Government of Wolves!
Get rid of the wolves.
