Translation, “ We're doing exactly what we want to do no matter how big of a mess it makes right through the next election. Let the next Prez deal with the massive devaluation and default”.

Mar 15th, 2015 - 12:44 pm - Link - Report abuse 0all his records can be summarized in having been a che pibe and a bootlicker.
now, the thing is that these imbeciles cannot understand that inflation rate does not only depend on the price of the dollar.
so, right now we have an inflation rate of +/-40% and a undervalued dollar.
high inflation rate + sub valued dollar = disaster waiting to happen.
maybe these imbeciles have to remember what happened in 2001.
“We don't know what the problem is!”

Paradoxically, despite the hight inflation rate and the strength of the USD, the rate of the Blue (black market) dollar has gone down from about 15.50 to 12.50 in the last 6 months, an effective Peso appreciation of 20%. Must be the only currency in the world to have appreciated against the USD. Can anyone explain that? No silly answers please, this is a serious question.

Mar 15th, 2015 - 07:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Bernie Madoff pulled off a similar, but far smaller scam by manipulating economic reports and continuing to bring in new sources of credit. Eventually the debt became too unmanageable and markets tanked.
The Ponzi scheme CFK's government has been running probably will collapse after she leaves office.
What will the new president do to save Argentina?

Hey, why not let Judge Thomas Griesa do it from NYC.

14. I can't see that happening until everything is resolved in NY and that's going to left up to the next Prez or next 5 Prez if it goes like last time.
Mar 16th, 2015 - 01:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Arg will default on the bonds coming due this year. That's pretty much a given at this point.
Well I bet they are excited over this discovery! Should help them pay off the debt. ;)
