Fiddling with the figures again using the money of bloated monopolies mismanaged by time served politicians in most part though ANTEL still shows the other bozos (especially ANCAP) how it’s done.

Last year, compared to the year before, my budget spreadsheet showed inflation at 12.7% YoY for core items: food, fuel(s), water, telecoms, Intendencia charges and medical subscriptions, NOT 8.14%. Don’t forget that just before Christmas “No Money Pepe” put 10% on all liquid and gas fuels and then wondered why everything suddenly shot up. The idiot still does not get it that ALL goods and people travel by road in some form or another, and the 10% is a creeping incremental from there that pervades everything down stream.

This month we were both amazed to see a fall of 9.65% in my wife’s medical subscription, mine has not yet arrived. Now we know! It’s the congenital idiotic, illiterate and innumerate politico’s massaging the figures during an election year.

The sad fact is of course that the lazy poor, who are by definition themselves congenitally idiotic, illiterate and innumerate otherwise they would not have parents who never worked in school and most certainly never had any form of job, will think the government is “great” and rush out to vote them in again.

The saying “turkeys don’t vote for Christmas” is just as applicable here.
