Private consulting firms: inflation 3.6 - 5.2% over last 2 months (=53% annualised) http://www.ambito.com/noticia.asp?id=820866 Irony dies stabbed in the heart by Argentine politics. The sides have now been officially switched on who says there is rampant inflation and who says there isn't. Fun...

Bush Sr famously called Reagan's economic policies "voodoo economics" in the 1980 GOP primaries. But supply-side economics have been the norm in US politics since then. Obama's recent QE programme is a perfect example.

A couple of clarifications: I think you might be confusing the Stimulus Package (ARRA) with the Bank Bailouts (TARP) and the Auto Industry Bailouts. In the latter case, the bailouts were-- I agree wholeheartedly-- just ginormous wastes of government money to "solve" problems they themselves...

OK perhaps my fault for not being explicit enough, I'll try again: Argentina is clearly not suffering from an excess of employers who want to hire people but cannot find anyone qualified to fill positions due to personnel lacking training.

A lot of issues here I'd like to address, but I won't have time for all of them: 1. Education: There is a simple market-based way to determine if a workforce is undereducated: because of supply and demand, you will see exorbitant salaries paid to those who do have the educational skills that...

I never saw Ejcot insist they were dead. He only asked for you to provide evidence for your assertion that they were alive. Big difference. Burden of proof is on you, not on him. You should either post reliable evidence or withdraw your assertion. Also your "plague on both our houses" argument...

Logic dies weeping. "I dislike X person therefore I believe Y bad thing about her even though there is no evidence"

I have the interview scheduled for 20 yrs after my death.

I scored an 89.

Authentic Mexican.... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA (Sorry. Best advice: go to Juanita's Taquería on PCH in Encinitas, CA four days before you depart for BA and don't leave until your flight takes off. If there is a bright centre of Mexican cuisine, this is the country farthest from it.)

Wait wasn't getting totchkies from Amazon the whole reason Macri won the highly coveted expat vote? http://baexpats.org/topic/34534-changes-i-want-to-see-with-the-new-president/

Indeed, sometimes it seems here like many people are still stuck in a binary Cold War time warp. Macri Gringo Golpista! CFK Venezuela Commies! Vulture Funds Plan Condor! Kirchner Montonero Fidel Castro! In some ways it's kind of quaint, like a trip to one of those kitchy Mediaeval Faires...

Likewise confused. Could they be recalling Menem's relaciones carnales, which involved Argentine troops being sent to Kuwait in Gulf War I? Are they saying it with irony, eg. "Macri's so beholden to the US that we will now be sending troops to the Mideast"? Or are they hoping it will happen...

Other questions are international bank transfers and PayPal type services. Anyone have any updates?

According to NYT her approval was recently at 40% and rising. WSJ had her at 43%. Meanwhile, in the recent election, Scioli was the option most hated by the core FpV supporters for years, and once the K leadership substituted him for Randazzo, Scioli did scant little to motivate the FpV base...

Who said voters can't be a pressure base? FDR certainly saw them as a pressure group to counter-balance the monied classes. And closer to home, just ask De La Rúa...

I don't want to throw anyone in this forum into a panic, but I am not so sure about your assessment that IMHO, it would be a huge strategic blunder to count CFK for defeated. She did not lose an election. She did not try to amend the constitution and run for a 3rd term. And whether or not she...

Cheese, I mostly agree as well, although my take is slightly different: The "stated goals" you mentioned for the FpV (equality, good education, better life for all, etc.) are clearly Cambiemos' stated goals as well. In fact, there would be few political parties that would not ascribe to these...

Rich has so much money that there isn't a bank big enough to hold it.
