Quote: “The last meltdown of Latin America’s No. 3 economy, in 2002, tossed millions of middle-class Argentines into poverty, and the blame went mostly to the IMF.”

Yep.

In Argentina it's always somebody else's fault.

In the US it's China's fault, and Mexico's fault, and the EU's fault (but never Russia, perish the thought). In the UK we like to blame everything on the EU, they're so convenient.

DT, pay for your own defense.

Why are you so ashamed of identifying your nation of birth?

When you think about it, the USA itself is an alphabet soup union of formerly sovereign states. You need to take this to it's logical conclusion and split up into 50 small countries. Think of the benefits: the miserable Mid-Westerners can get rid of the snooty coastal elites, and the South can finally achieve their dream of re-forming the Confederacy.

Where are now the valiant MP commentators who used to blame CKF for inflation, unemployment etc. when the current numbers are so much worse?

Nowhere. The white knights are now in disarray and not knowing what to say post inanities or beside the topic. They turn around the subject and avoid the least criticism to Mauricio “gato” Macri, a guy they had expected to become the new Latin American Maggie or Ronny.

Well, at least he is a “good dancer,” as he awkwardly claimed on occasion of receiving the “Global Citizen” Award, shamelessly bestowed to him by the Atlantic Council.

Don't miss Macri's speech between 7:58 and 9:37.
