    Its just more smoke, the vast majority of the lower categories 100-200 Ton, that will get $450 no longer exist, and the higher categories will only get paid about 4,5 US$ per Ton, its f- all. Besides why not simply lift the taxes from 35% to 15% all together?? The reason is simple, the State keeps control on the money.

    The picture says it all about TDC: TMBOA (now with a flourishing gut on her, too much time in the wheelchair) clapping herself over some minor change that will achieve very little; the grinning child to her left continues to ruin the country with his wacky 'economic' ideals and of course Bogbrush ‘Anibal the Cannibal’ © ChrisR 2015 is now exactly positioned to further increase the K's drug empire having been deeply involved with it under Boss Eye.

    The trolls of course keep repeating the old mantra that when the Brits were involved the 'people' had nothing. Mmmm! Of course the 'people' have everything now, don't they: stinking slums without running water, plenty of running sewage in the streets and being preyed upon by all the crooks from the government, the policia and their own people.

    It is clearly a K's paradise, long may it continue.

    “Bogbrush ‘Anibal the Cannibal’ © ”...???

    I think the Peronists have panicked because the Radical party and the PR have formed an electoral alliance. CFK will be announcing all kinds of populist concessions for future votes.

    ´´IN 2008, THEY WANTED TO DESTITUTE ME´´.
    This is what cristina said in her biography, called: the president, in reference to the huge agrarian conflict,written by jornalist sandra russo. I must recognize that i won't never forget that year, beyond the hypocritical lectures of many cretins from most opposition parties, who won't never admit that it was an intent of taking cristina out of office, the virulence used those days, is a clear fundament that shows what it really was, beside the government also committed mistakes when it informed about the measure.
    In 2007, when cristina was elected for the first time, i didn't vote for her, i voted for elisa carrió, however when i saw the shameful behaviour of most politicians from the opposition, not only in 2008, but also in the following years, especially every time that the government decided to put a limit to the economic power, i realized that they didn't represent me any more, beside, and i wasn't disposed to be complice of any intent of coup d'etat.
    On the other hand, it's necesary to remind that in 2009, when buzzi leaded federación agraria, the government proposed that entity a similiar measure to what it determined yesterday, however he decided to ignore it.

    Sandra Russo, journalist ?????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!

    She is not a journalist, she is a mercenary of Diego Gvirtz who charges fortunes to lick the arse of the government and is the official authorized biographer of CFK.

    Nobody wanted to destitute her in 2008, farmers didn’t want to go bust.... What so hard of that to understand???

    The FAA leadership has being co-opted by the politicians. But Buzzi & De Angeli had more dignity than Principe.

    Do I have to remind you that RETENCIONES are charged in % of Dollar denominated prices and that this deal only talks about X amount of AR$ reimburse for a category of producers than no longer exists??

    But I guess you don’t know nor understand the implications of that… No bother, just shut the F up.

    @ 13 yankeeboy

    My Argentine next door neighbours mother is now here for a couple of weeks, a lovely woman who is now 92 YO.

    She was fuming at 'The Lady' as they call TMBOA for her and the Peronistas for ruining the country.

    “Do you know I live in one of the best apartment blocks in BsAs and they just cannot keep the electricity on when it rains? She then informed me that in the five years she has been there she has lost count of the number of electrical appliance she has had to replace due to them setting on fire or 'just blowing themselves up'.

    ”It never rains but it blows up the kitchen” could be a new saying especially for TDC!

    :o)

    Incidentally, at the same time that I was reading your post in my phone, I was leaving Retiro station in one of those new Chinese confy trains that the popular revolution got for us. Suddenly, just a couple of meters out of the station, the train stopped, lights went out, and the heat started to torture me as the AA was no longer working. I thought to myself -Dang!! It's gotta be yankeeboy's hex!!! Sure, look at the number in his post!!
    A minute later, as I regained control over my emotions, I started to speculate about my options. A few blocks back into downtown, St. Patrick's festivities were just about starting. Cool!! If have to walk out of this train, that's were I'm goint. F*ck everything and everyone!!
    And just as my evil plan was taking shape in my mind, dang again, the train came back to life. That certainly got me back on thinking. Soybeans? What are they good for?
    Bio-diesel for emergency generators? Of course!! I just felt like calling my friend Kichi and tell him about the idea ... Errr ... right ... wait a minute, don't we need plants to process soy into diesel?
    What else can we do with them. We practically don't consume soy for food.
    So, the only way out of this crisis is to make beer out of soybeans. It'll taste awful, but it'll get you there.
    (yes, of course, we could also start sticking soybeans up our ... but there's an obvious limit to that type of consumption)

    CFK makes a smart move to help the smaller producers with progressive measures.
    The latest revelations on Nisman's case show it's going to be very difficult if not impossible to endorse the fiscal's death to the government...
    One can almost feel sorry for those who envisioned an easy victory for the Argentine opposition on the back of political scandal. Sorry, fellows. The battle will have to be fought on election platforms, to the benefit of the country.

    17/18 Just replace Venezuela with Argentina in a year or two.

    Stupid stupid Commies.

    Still, some — many Western liberals included — believe that Venezuela’s suffering, while regrettable, is not an indictment of the regime. Instead, they celebrate Chávez’s success in reducing poverty, claiming that this vindicates his economic policies. This overlooks that Venezuela has the largest proven oil reserves of any nation and that Venezuela’s natural beauty could lead to a huge increase in tourism..

    Is it Nisman's death the only thing that you think is cornering this gov't? I'm sure all of us that live in Arg. can hold more that a thing or two against them.

    Do any of these sound familiar to you: Boudou? Baez? Lopez? Inflation? Growing crime? Narco domination? Excesive taxation? Indiscriminate handouts? Corruption?

    #18 Think
    Suddenly, the Nisman affair no longer interests anybody around here.
    The poor guy is dead so...
    But no! What happens is, the latest developments all but quash Nisman's portrait as a crusader who had dedicated his life to “solve” the AMIA bombing case and was killed because of his “denunciation” against the government.
    To protest his suspicious death and ask for justice, many marched in Argentina. What a difference a month makes.
    I would say Nisman could have as much fun as he wanted. The only problem, is it appears may have been supporting his life of fun with some public money--stolen money.
    This reveals the hypocrisy of those who just a month ago were furiously posting about how rotten the Argentine government had been to send assassins to finish Nisman.
    The same now find that Nisman's diversion of part of the wages of some of his collaborators to his own account is just a fact of life--nothing to worry about.
    There is no corruption but that of the “K's” that's worth mentioning.
    Talk about some opportunism.

    A K concerning himself about miss used Public funds, is like el Bambino Veira and Padre Grassi concerning themselves with childcare.

    And actually the sluts were probably being inderectly paid by the SIDE and Parilli. Nisman had a fat salary and there is no evidence whatsoever that Nisman used public funds to bang sluts with.

    In my humble opinion..., Chantapufi Nisman was just a perfect example of the loooooooooooooooooooong series of incompetent & corrupt Chantapufis that, since at least, the década infame have misgoverned, mismanaged and misrepresented our Country...

    A looooong & boooooring, state of affairs that seemed bloody permanent in Argentina but that..., for the first time in my life..., I have seen being somewhat reversed by the Kirchner administrations...

    Luckily, all seems to indicate a continuation of their “Modelo” after this years elections...
