Vamos Macri.
In La Nacion this morning they have exposed nearly a billion pesos of allotments for national routes that have never been started and the money has gone. The K's are starting to panick. Expect some verbal diarrea about the Falklands from Kristina as she is all out of tricks.

TMBOA must be slipping.
I'm surprised that argies can't see the obvious. When did argieland start nosediving to ruin? It was around 1943. When nazi sympathiser Peron started influencing the country. Of course argies loved Peron. It was freebies all the way. 72 years of freebies and lies. Let's note that the lies have to be paid for. And they cost more than the freebies!

Conqueror has discovered the solution to all Argentine problems. Oh, I forgot: he will not lower himself to say “Argentine.” He will condescend enough to call us “argies.”
Anyway. This subtle commentator is wondering why nobody else has noticed what he--only he--has discovered, that is, that Peronism is the cause of all problems including his dyspepsia.
Oh right! How did we not think of it?
Forget the selfish Argentine oligarchy, which educates its children in NY or Paris but can't stand the thought of their workers or domestics earning a decent life.
Forget Peron insisted rural workers be extended labour laws. WTF? That would threaten the well being of the owner of 100,000 hectares please!
Forget the military, ready to assassinate their country people as soon as things threatened to get out of hand.
Forget those economy ministers happy to borrow money outside the country, money that would evaporate without tangible results, forcing more borrowing until the IMF stepped in to impose unemployment and hunger to those undisciplined workers.
Yes sir. Conqueror has discovered the real facts, different from those that everybody else will tell you.
“Wartime reserves enabled the Peronist government to fully pay off the external debt in 1952; by the end of the year, Argentina became creditor of US$ 5.000.000.000.” What? Pure lies!

Pay attention. The Peronists caused the 2001 default, according to Conqueror's version of facts. Somebody else stepped in in 2003 and gave Argentina 10 years of straight growth.
What? It was a Kirchnerist?
Oh no! pas possible! Not in Conqueror's world.

2 Argentina stopped growing in 2011 and outlook is BLEAK whether Scioli or Macri wins: 0 reserves, 25% inflation, default, free-falling exports, Brazil off the cliff etc.
3 Yes the Argentine oligarchy is and has always been selfish and despotic. Why does that change when the oligarchy is named Kirchner? Florencia Kirchner has been living/studying in New York - underscoring your point.
You should read the book “Animal Farm”. It was written for people like you. “Some animals are more equal than others”
And . . .
