Lula da Silva campaigns for Scioli and is full of praise for Cristina Fernandez and the 'K' model
Brazil's popular but scandal-weary former leader Lula da Silva endorsed Argentina's ruling party presidential candidate on Wednesday, identifying Daniel Scioli's credentials with the political left, and hoping the current project “that began in 2003 is re-elected”. The former president was also full of praise for president Cristina Fernandez. Read full article

So I exported wine , fish ,and of course paying and expensive & unprofitable fee to an other company for do it, I try to export my mother in law but i Couldn t.
This situation happens due to Arg lost reserves in our Central Bank, everybody transferred there savings to another place, and of course nobody invest in this country .

What this ”Modelo” represents is a very clear improvement since they were elected in 2003 when unemployment was close to 50%.., when our foreign debt was close to 200% of our GNP..., when some 4 million pensioners were given miserable 80 U$S a month and some other 3 million elders where completely excluded from the pension system..., when the AUH was just a dream in some old geezers heads like mine..., y páro de contar...

Most of the advances made by Argentina under the Kirchners were created by stealing from the future.
Sep 11th, 2015 - 09:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0The deficits that help pay for all this wonderful largess causes inflation which just erodes everyone's wealth and future assets.
The running down of every government financial asset to help supposedly pay off debt has robbed future generations of their inheritance.
The constant populist rhetoric and attempt to hide the economic mismanagement of the Kirchners has scared off investment and destroyed the wealth and businesses of even more Argentineans.
All the advances and improvements that Think wishes for could have been created in a sustainable way.
Welfare states should be built on transferring wealth from a growing and sustainable upper to middle class.
Debt should be paid off from general revenue not by transferring assets out of the country.
The Kirchners have created a sustainable system. All the improvements will slowly erode and fade away.

Sep 12th, 2015 - 02:17 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Inflation reduces the value of savings and hence high inflation steals the savings of a population by reducing their net worth. Therefore you have reduced future purchasing power.
That is your stealing from the future. A bit like giving someone a deficient education..... say an Argentinean one.... is like stealing their future earning capacity.
In addition to robbing the savings from the future through inflation, your wonderful government has also failed miserably to protect and even grow the savings it holds for the country.
To give you an example of what your country HASN'T done for the future. In Australia since 2006 (even less that a Kirchner “won” decade) our Future Fund has amassed A$128 BILLION to help pay for FUTURE liabilities.
I also somehow doubt that Argentina is sitting on A$2 TRILLION in self funded pensions like we are.
As I said. Your government has stolen money from the future. Now for old people like you that don't have to worry about the future for that much longer, that isn't a problem.
You country blew its wad during the “won decade”. Future savings and future spending all got sucked in and used up.
Your system isn't sustainable. You need to grow wealth in order to redistribute. And your country doesn't grow wealth, it just redistributes it.
You don't have to believe me. I don't really care. I don't live in some humble Patagonian shack.
But I do live in a country with a large and sustainable welfare sector. A country that is constantly redistributing wealth in a much larger way than yours does. But we aren't transferring until the spigot runs dry, we grow the entire economy so there is more wealth to transfer.
Joke about it all you want. But I'll be around to see the future longer than you.
You had a couple of good years and deluded yourself that it was permanent.

Think/voice,
Your condescending is laughable.
You speak as though high and very high Inflation is normal, and to be expected - hilarious.
The strategy you speak of by the middle class, to offset Inflation, does not tell the real story either.
I can't imagine an interest return of 25-40%+ from the banks, that would be needed to hedge your Inflation rate. Unless of course, investments were fixed to the $USD, which you dismiss as somehow foolish or disloyal to Argentina.
How many of your shrinking Middle Class can afford monies to put aside for Inflation hedging investments?
How many banks are Argentina trying to penalize for doing just that?
The majority of your people are poor, and as many as 30% are VERY poor, according to the poverty relief agencies including CDK's best buddy the Pope's church.
They have no money to put aside in High Yield Term Deposits, do they?
Life is a grind - and getting worse as their pesos buy less and less.
“ no money stolen” ???
We in the rest of the world, where Inflation is usually kept well under double digits, are able to invest in High Yield Term Deposits as well, and many other investment tools.
While your Middle Class investors are treading water against currency devaluation, we are realizing profits - that they will never see - due to investment
Really Think?
Sep 12th, 2015 - 11:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And what interest rate is paid?
One that covers the cover the OFFICIAL “inflation rate and a teeny weeny more...”
Or one that covers the ACTUAL “inflation rate and a teeny weeny more...”
Inless people are receiving weekly or monthly salary increases to cover continually compounding price increases from high inflation, then they don't even get to put money into an account where it can earn interest.
In the real world as opposed to your deluded world where you think you live in some economic nirvana (from your perspective you probably do considering Argentina's economic history) people hedge their savings in US$ & durable goods. That is why you run a dual exchange rate & why CFK crowed about the consumer boom over the past couple of years. People bought forward their purchases to protect the value of their ever decreasing salaries. But people only need so many cars and white goods before they don't need to purchase anymore. And then your consumer boom peters out but you're still left with high inflation.
And as for someone being brave enough to lock up their savings in some high interest bearing account when government lies about the inflation rate and you don't know whether your 30% interest rate will still be higher than inflation of lower..... yeah sure! Because Argentina is currently experiencing a glut of savings. LOL
Salaries and interest rates don't pace inflation. They play catch up by leapfrogging it and then always falling behind because the inflation rate trended up for so many years..
The fact is that the 50 milliamperes my little hamster wheel of a brainwashed brain produces is always enough to show you up. Time and again. I don't doubt you have trouble remember that since you have so much trouble remembering inflation's effect on your life.
Thanks for the cookie jar compliment. Yes with our stable economy & low inflation this is still considered better than an Argentinean savings account.

I meant uninterested. Thank you for correcting me Clyde.

Sep 14th, 2015 - 07:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You deeply insult me and your host Country at (4) & (26) using an indigent Argentinean child who died of multiple and grave maladies to make a negative point against the Kirchner administration...
I could easily find some pictures of extremely ill & thin dying Canadians and blame them on Harper and his conservative mates.
Then..., at (33), you call me a thief...
But you get very offended when I call you a turnipy Anglo Canuck?
Who's the one in denial and in need of a life?

lol.
Sep 14th, 2015 - 08:08 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Hey thunk...la cretina is not responsible for indigent children? She certainly threw a scene at the meeting with Lula...on the verge of tears....wailing like a banshee about the dead child. All the while blaming Europe for this tragic death. And whose government is right up al-Assads ass? Whose government is supporting the dictator in Venezuela? Whose government is bowing and scraping to the war-monger Putin? The list goes on and on.
Sep 15th, 2015 - 12:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Yes you are in denial. You are insulted? Maybe it time to wake up and smell the coffee.

Sep 15th, 2015 - 09:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Normally, I interact as little as possible with turnips.
But I'll make an exception with you so other readers can, if they wish, check my info and THINK...:
You ask...:
Isn't Cristina responsible for indigent children?
I say...:
Very much so.
That's why, terminally ill Oscar Sanchez, 14 years, RIP, as you can read in the link below, was derived from the “Néstor Kirchner” assistance centre of Villa Rio Bermejito to the Güemes hospital in Castelli and finally to the Central Pediatric Hospital in Chaco's capital, Resistencia where he died under intensive medical care...
http://www.periodicomovil.com.ar/nota/sociedad/653/murio-adolescente-qom-pesaba-11-kilos.html
All three above mentioned medical facilities (together with some 150 other in Chaco province) were constructed and inaugurated by the present Kirchner administration...
You ask?
“And whose government is right up al-Assads ass?”
I would say...:
The Canadian, The American, the British and the rest of NATO member governments that, by bombing IS strongholds, are keeping dictator Assad very much in power...
You know IS...? That monster that you Anglos fostered and nutruted in Russian occupied Afghanistan during the eighties and that now has run wild against its own creators...
You say...:
“Whose government is supporting the dictator in Venezuela? ”
I say...:
What dictator in Venezuela?
Last time I checked Venezuela was run (quite badly, by the way) by a president elected democratically in an internationally monitored fair election...
You say...:
“Whose government is bowing and scraping to the war-monger Putin? ”
I say...:
War-monger Putin?
And that coming from an Anglo Canuck whose government has been directly militarily involved in aggression wars against Afghanistan, Irak, Libya and Syria among others...
Wars that have created untold human misery in the whole of the Middle East...
Human misery that migrates toward Europe as we speak...
Wake Up, Brainwashed Anglo Turnip...
