    Dany, I will bet that by the eoy all the car mfgs in Argentina. will have severe layoffs
    Or announce they are pulling out all together.

    Then all you'll have is SOY and then only for awhile since the soil is getting depleted so quickly.

    @Yankee Bobo

    I would really like to understand what the f@ck you are trying to say...

    But unfortunately my Daddy only have money to send me to England to learn some f@cking english you know. He was not so rich after all...

    He always told me.. if you are going to learn the language of the monkeys go to England where they have some glam and just little bit of education ...

    Sorry Amexica was not in my road map...

    What can I do?

    So you are agreeing with me.
    Finally seeing the light huh?

    Someone recently reminded me of a few posts we had back and forth from last year.
    If alarming how stupid you are, who helps you cross traffic?

    It is a joke, because the truth is: The unemployment “statistical” number is only falling because of many people fell out of the system that receives benefits ( benefits for 6 months). It is NOT because of job creation, because the US lost again manufacturing and part time service (retail sector) jobs.

    UNemployment figures all cooked....why don't they count the millions who have given up trying to get a job ?? Oh...No need to ? ah yes, of course, they've all migrated to the Food Stamps queue...erhh, sorry the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (or something like that)...Exactly the same shit in Brazil, and as they say around here, “fool me because I like it”...

    Danny Boi is obviously a d*ckhead.

    The only true fact.

    Meanwhile; USA will not 'fail' because of it's experience in rectifying problems, it's maturity, it's educated populace, and, TBH, it's superior global economic & political power. You really think they will throw it all away now?
    A few minnows gasping for air in the South Atlantic is hardly on the radar... As we can tell by a little squabbling over who does/does not want to be Ambassador to 3rd world RGland....
