    @ 2 “Free Energy Stevie”

    I don’t know why you are laughing.

    Did you not understand what I told you months ago about you old commie president Pepe La Puke (and I know it’s the female) who has single handedly committed two generations of actual Uruguayo workers (in the real world, not the fallacy of “government” work) to sovereign debt?

    Do you not see the similarities here if Vasquez chooses not to waste money on the stupid hand-outs to the lazy “poor” and frankly looking at the figures and the declining economy I don’t think he can keep on with it? No doubt you will be moaning about Vasquez whatever he does so it won’t really matter what you say will it? As if it does now with you NOT living here!

    So the illiterate Tupamaros have nothing to crow about where debt is concerned.
