    Higher deficits, hyperinflation, major currency devaluation, civil disturbances, and another default, coming up. Film at 11.

    I don't think there is another default coming up. Investors much prefer the truth because then they can factor that into their calculations.

    This government is at least telling the truth and willing to tackle issues as they occur instead of kicking the can down the road. I expect the finances to look dismal this year as the full facts of CFK's last year in power finally flow through.

    I will be interested to see revised statistics going back the last few years when they are done as they will show the lack of growth and the full cost of inflation.

    That was 2015, wait until they audit the rest of the K decade in power. Their GDP number is going to plummet, poverty skyrocket, etc etc etc.

    Surprised the lot of them haven't been put under “protective” custody yet.

    @3 “ ... I don't think there is another default coming up...”

    Well, then maybe just higher deficits, hyperinflation, major currency devaluation, recession, growing unemployment, civil disturbances, and another significant nonpayment event.... other than that the economy here is looking just rosy.

    Amazing such an abject failure as Kick is still trying to preserve the lie he was complicit in creating. He should be jailed..

    Does Kickitoff have ANY credibility with anyone other that the K's, I don't think so.

    It was obvious that Bug Eye only dished INDEC so he could write the figures for himself and that worked only with the stupid 15M K's and Peronistas.

    As long as the Macri government continues to play by the international 'book' they will be supported financially.

    I just wish he was strong enough to knock the stupidity of the Malvinas on the head as well. He could start by removing it and The RCCunts from the constitution.
