Jean Ziegler says “ if the Argentine Government paid in full as the vultures want, it would entail spending cuts causing people to suffer”, My question is where did the US$ 100 billion go? Was it not intended to pull “ the people ” out of poverty. My thoughts are that they would have been worse off if the bondholders had not lent them money. And of course if you borrow money the honourable thing to do is pay it back. Most civilised countries that borrow money pay it back. I am waiting to see if any Argentinian can refute my statement or at the very least tell the world where the money was spent.

Oct 06th, 2014 - 11:26 am - Link - Report abuse 0We know where the money was not spent, even though it was designated to be spent for the betterment of Argentina as a whole, not Nestor and TMBOA, et al.
AND, even if (laughingly) they did not steal it themselves they were mandated to look after it.
So TMBOA needs to be brought to justice, end of a wire rope?
ziegler as most of the critics only speak of the funds.
Oct 06th, 2014 - 11:38 am - Link - Report abuse 0they forget the poor people in europe, us, japan who lost their lifelong saved money for the age through the robbing of the ck-gang. personally by k and ck and a man like BAEZ, the money launderer of ck and her criminal robberment gang.
this is more and more of we wont pay and never will, i cant see anyone in there right mind investing in Argentina now which is why CKF has now got money from a loan shark (China)

Oct 06th, 2014 - 12:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Regardless Argentina doesn't have the U$ to pay for imports much less the bonds.
Next is another large devaluation which should be just enough to push it into hyperinflation.
I can't wait.
This can't be true, didn't that Italian lawyer they dragged out, can't remember his name, say that the Italian holdouts supported the Argentine position?

Oct 06th, 2014 - 01:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If the Italian bondholders supported the Argentine position they would have agreed to the restructuring. Clearly they didn't.
The Italian case is very interesting because many of the Italian funds are retirement savings programs of ordinary people, not billionaires.
Will be much harder for the Whacky Leadership to get in front of a microphone and hurl accusations of greed against poor Italian workers who lost their retirement savings due to the Whacky Leadership's greed and incompetence.
But I bet they will try anyways...

Shame when the Brits invested it was the 6th richest economy. Still thats progress I guess. It must be very rewarding running your own country, just ask the Kirtchers.
