'Inflation above 30%', says De Mendiguren
Lawmaker and member of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) José Ignacio de Mendiguren said that inflation is not 40% as some private indexes say, but he pointed out that it is not around 24% as the government says either. “I think it is over 30%,” he said. Read full article

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 01:23 am - Link - Report abuse 0There's really something wrong with the way Rgs think. I really don't understand why they can't see what's happening in their macro economics.
Simple, we don't believe in your immoral economic system.

Dec 22nd, 2014 - 08:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0@3. Giorgio. 'Immoral economic system'. Funny that Argentina is rated down in 107th position in the Global Corruption Index (UK 14th, Chile & Uruguay joint
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 10:35 am - Link - Report abuse 021st). Is 107th position immoral enough?
@3. Hey ho, Giorgio, are you hoping to be able to blame the aliens. Thinking about it, little grey body, big head, strange eyes. It's Timerman! Remember the tv series 'V' (V stands for Visitor). Turned out to be lizards in human disguises. Sounds like Kirchner. So the next series will be called 'K'. There will still be the usual 'snack' shots. Dropping the live mice into the open mouth, watching it distorting the throat of the lizard as it is ingested. The only difference is that 'K' will be playing herself. The mice will be real. No more camera tricks!
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 12:18 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Now here's an article, published only two months ago, in which the Opposition legislators announced that inflation was 41.06%.
http://panampost.com/panam-staff/2014/10/16/annual-inflation-in-argentina-soars-to-highest-point-in-decades/
So what is De Mendiguren up to? Why, apparently, do the majority of 'Opposition lawmakers' have one view, but he has another? But what sort of 'lawmaker' is he? Is he 'Opposition', 'Kirchner' or somewhere in between? Is he trying to make a name for himself? Is he a nutjob? That last seems most likely. Although most argies are nutjobs. The only question is what percentage of each one is 'nut'? We could discount 'job'. Few argies have any knowledge of 'jobs'. In most countries in the western world, a 'job' is an occupation that one goes to 5, 6 or even 7 days a week. The 'norm' is 40 to 42 hours a week. It's not like that in argieland, is it? There, a 'job' is something with which to pass the time. Salaries or wages are based on inaccurate inflation figures and are determined annually irrespective of ability or 'work' done. At the appropriate time, the unions say that everyone should get, say, a 25% pay increase. Where else in the world do you get a 25% pay increase every year? So De Mendiguren, for undisclosed reasons, is trying to cut back pay increases. Does he want to create a massive class of the dissatisfied? Look at the mad, staring eyes!
At the same time, we have this :

Of course they don't believe in “our” system. They believe in THEIR immoral system.
One thing that I think a lot of people have forgotten about and eventually it will come back to bite Argentina is the understatement of inflation and the overstatement of GDP. Three are U$Billions of bonds linked to those 2 figures.
Dec 22nd, 2014 - 01:05 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At some point they're going to have to restate those figures back a decade and recalculate the amount of interest that needs to be paid out.
I hope it happens in 2015.
De Mendiguren and Massa are party made of all former Kirchnerists... How many times was this man clapping CFK and Nestor K in the front row of the UIA ?? How many times was he close to the government

The industrial class of Argentina are a problem they depend on the State to protect them from foreign products, devaluate the peso, tax agro export so farmers dump their produce in Argentina making food and raw materials cheap for them to compete. That is why the Mercosur will never work, these are the folks who will prevent it, but the politicians will make you believe that they are defending sugar producers in Tucuman or citrus farmers in Corrientes,
Industrial populism in Argentina

11. I think you are confusing recovery with growth. Argentina during 2002-2006 did more or less recover precrisis level of economic activity. But Argentina never actually grew over those levels.

I have only been to Mendoza twice, both times on a bike, and both were scary particularly coming in and out through the outskirts. On many occasions I have probed Toby about the place and he has failed to convince me he lives there. These days he seems to go off for a long period and then come back so either he has a job or is attending school. Possibly his carers are limiting his time on PCs. Perhaps they have parental controls? His English is very good indeed so its a fair bet he is in the UK or one of its former colonies and as you say is subject to a lot of piss taking.

It is bad enough that the inflation in rotting roadkill approaches fifty (50%) percent this year but that coupled with the universal poor quality of the goods and services that one receives with the payment of these worthless paysos makes this the most overvalued country in the world.

On my first visit many years ago I walked everywhere and felt reasonably safe. The wineries were flourishing and people were investing in land and property there. Apart from the beggars and a few protests going on, the city seemed to be doing well.
The last time I was there I noticed an increase in security and the locals were nervous. Crime was a real problem and we were forever being warned by the locals. I did still walk but it gave my Argentine friends the heebie jeebies so I gave in to taxis. The wineries were complaining about not being able to get parts for machinery and locals confirmed everything was getting worse. It has deteriorated more since then.
It does look as if Argentina is back on my agenda for next year so I shall get to see for myself.

LOSER weirdos!
@67 Stop lumping us all together, I never want to meet you or know where you live. I couldn't give a flying fuck.
Dec 23rd, 2014 - 10:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No cares about you personally.......just validate you are in Argentina. Why not? Because you are not in Argentina. I've been t here more than you.......lol...lying loser.

70. I knew they'd lose. Once this is sorted out they're going to have a very difficult time buying anything with the U$.

Dec 24th, 2014 - 05:03 am - Link - Report abuse 0When was the last time I claimed Mendoza was “thriving”? Six months ago? You are such an idiot, what I do say is things are not collapsing like you claim. I have always said as well that the long term trend is down since Argentina is on the descending slope of its history.
I have always been consistent, unlike you or anyone else.
Worry more about Ottawa and Sydney, your Anglo cousins who live in cities that have been warzones in 2014.
@73 Interesting. So you think things have deteriorated in Mendoza in the last six months? Yes, I agree.
Dec 24th, 2014 - 08:39 am - Link - Report abuse 0Your hyperbole is consistent.
@74
Dec 24th, 2014 - 09:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0Yeah and? Don't things “deteriorate” in England? Like in the late 2000s? The difference is I explain it as normal ups and downs of the economic cycle. You try to create this entire myth that “deterioration” is a uniquely argentine thing. Because you are a wankress.
@75 No, that is your victim mentality at work.
Dec 24th, 2014 - 10:06 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is not just on a 'natural' downward turn, it is crashing spectacularly because of your corrupt and incompetent government. Sure it has happened before because of particular factors in Argentina that make it more pronounced but this time it will be worse. Downturns are not uniquely Argentine but the scale of it is.
Oh joy.....the modern Exodus?

Obviously Pagina boi has his pulse on the people of Argentina. See what happens when you espouse about a country you do not line Tobi?
76. You're right about that, holiday sales are “up” 12% yoy except inflation is 50% so they're really down 38%!!!
Dec 24th, 2014 - 01:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The ups and downs of their cycles are incredible. Even in the deepest darkest day of our recession stats didn't fluctuate that dramatically.
I've said for a long time that this crash is going to be unlike any other crash they've had, nobody cares enough about Argentina to bale them out. I think the USA want's to teach them a lesson to try to bring them back into the real world, so we're out, IMF is out, the USA will block WB and IDB loans, Venezuela is out, the only one left is China and I don't see them doing much more than they already have.
If they can't get BODEN bonds refinanced, and they'll try again, they literally don't have enough U$ to make in through 2015. They have nothing to sell.
I can't wait for NML to start seizing their non embassy properties in the USA. That could happen this year. That will be fun to watch.
@78 What do you mean by the real world?
Dec 25th, 2014 - 07:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 079. The world the rest of us live in. Rgs are delusional, fcking heterodoxy economic plans that make your people worse off than they were before the crash. Every decade Rgs get poorer and dumber, its happened for the last 75 years.
Dec 27th, 2014 - 01:42 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Why would you try it again?
Is it insanity?
@ 37 ElaineB who writes: “Yeah, I have long doubted TTT is living in Mendoza or even Argentina.”
Dec 27th, 2014 - 04:52 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Idiot child Tobias does not live in Mendoza.
Last I was in Mendoza, for a visit of several months, I challenged him to tell which streets were closed for repair and he vanished into thin air on some childish excuse.
Almost all the trolls do not live in Argentina any longer. They support Kirchners from abroad from where they can actually live.
Dec 27th, 2014 - 07:07 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@81 Interesting. One time when he was indignant and belligerent towards people doubting he lived in Mendoza I offered to assist him in silencing his doubters. He swiftly disappeared off line for the entire time I was there.

Dec 28th, 2014 - 04:40 pm - Link - Report abuse 0One year ago, some of those econochantas, who often appear on tv giving economic predictions, said that for the end of 2014, arg. was going to have between 20 and 25 thousand million dollars, beside they also said that the dollar quotation was going to be almost out of controll. I knew that they were wrong, not because i'm a genious, actually i'm not, i knew it because they have always failed in their predictions since 2003. Perhaps they can't make serious critics to the falencies of c. f. k's government, or maybe they are just repeating what is convenient to the corporate interests that some of them represent.
It's well known that this year wasn't good for arg., not ony for the mistakes committed by the government, but also because of the bad situations that some of our main trade partners are going through, beside, the global economic situation is still too weak, which is something that prejudices our trade.
However, the state made a great effort to keep the consumption levels, despite some jobs were lost. On the other hand, after the swap with china, and the negotiations with those cretins farmer who didn't want to sell the harvests, now we have more than 31 thousand million dollars, which is a very good level to pay all our obligations, beside the dollar quotation is absolulty under controll.
There is a mountain of legitimate critics that anybody can make to c. f. k's administration, but nobody can deny that her pulse didn't tremble, when she took some hard decisions for economic power, and decided to carry on a great confrontation with them, who committed 9 economic runs since 2007, with the purpose of braking her government down, as they did with alfonsin in 1989.
In just one year will be in office the new president of arg., it's well known that whoever wins, won't be able to dismantle the achievements that workers could get since 2003, due to people have already empowered of them, which is wonderful.

If you actually think they maintained reserves because of anything other than China's bailout/currency swap.....aka BORROWED MONEY, you are beyond comprehension.
What is it that you hate about people controlling their own lives?
Why is it that you prefer the overall populace decreasing in self sufficiency and wealth in order to rise the minority?
