    Of course he is. After all, at this stage of his life, he has to take joy from whatever he can...

    Good for MP for publishing a real picture of the actual economic and social situation in Argentina, beyond the rosy predictions issued by the Macri government.

    @Kanye

    “Argentine economy not completely recovered.”

    Your mistake. Argentina has been in freefall for the last 15 months--Absolutely not on its way to recovery.

    “Enrique must be overjoyed.”

    Wrong again. I'd rather be wrong and that the Macri government be improving the lot of Argentines. It was not to happen.

    @imoyaro

    Has choken up--does not know what to say anymore. Give up, boy.

    What about Jack's 3 questions you have been avoiding?
    Here is an opportunity to tell us about CFK's successful ideological policies.

    ”1st ) if she was so successful, then why did reality in Argentina, up to 2015, not reflect this 'success' ?
    2nd) if you think it did, then why did her candidate lose the election ?,
    3rd) since you are judging her after full two terms, or 8 years in office, don't you think that Macri deserves at least half that time to allow his policies to mature ?”

    No government is going to improve the Argentine economy without first eliminating the favoritism and support government gives to particular industries, and breaking the power of the labor unions -- and no Argentine government, so far, has had the will, or the political support to do it. As long as these organizations have the sort of powers and monopoly they're given under present law, the kind of changes that would free up the economy and allow it to grow can never be instituted.

    Kanye, remember this is the guy who claims he wants honest debate, but as always he cannot answer the reasonable questions posed to him. Any sources he cites are routinely K propaganda rags or television channels. That's why all he will ever get from me is a loud horse laugh, or a sardonic jest at his expense. In a way he's like Chopper, but without the space aliens and oversize footwear. On a lighter note, there's this...

    Note that this torturer was made the head of the army under Kirchner. Kamerad/Komrade Rique never said a word about it at the time, no doubt he felt a certain simpatico with a like wise bloody minded individual.
