    Moving Dollars From Argentina To Usa

    We went through this exact scenerio when we built a new house in San Antonio, TX. I made three deposits into my savings account (total $5K) and the mortgage underwriter demanded copies of the checks deposited and what they were for. Ever since the Savings and Loans fiasco where people were...

    Returning To Ba

    Just after Christmas last year my wife and I were going to fly from Bogota to BA for three weeks. We owned a home in Michigan and thanks to a very cold two weeks there I had to fly back to the states to deal with the insurance company and Wells Fargo Bank because we sustained $27K in damages to...

    Are Argentina Girls Really That Bad?

    Looking at your screen name it sort of makes me wonder if your adjective list is the result of Argentine Women spurning your advances! ;) My wife is Colombian and her son and daughter-in-law (also Colombian) and their 2 year old daughter live near the old zoo. Although I remain staunchly...

    Visas For Us Tourists To Region

    When we took the ferry to Uruguay from BA three years ago we got an exit stamp from Argentina then an entry stamp from Uruguay, right at the ferry terminal. It's when Argentine Immigrations about had a fit...I paid my $140 fee, got that stamped, and then got my baggage and cleared Customs...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    Pensador it's usually very nice to discuss something on this forum...without the personal insults. You are entitled to your opinion of course; they are like a certain part of the human anatomy; unless surgically removed and replaced with a tube and plastic bag - we all have them. I respect...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    TomAtAlki - Social Security was never intended as a source of revenue and the trillions of SS Money misappropriated by Congress is long gone and Congress has no intention of ever returning the money to social security. The remaining SS dollars may be in bonds and securities but the money...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    The simplest fix to Social Security is two fold. First it is not tax dollars - it is money, earned by the people (well most of them) for their retirement. It is not a bank account for Congress to rob. Congress must stop taking Social Security money and putting it in the general fund. Second...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    I still have faith in the United States too guys and I don't think that Trump is that big of a challenge to the democratic principles either. Trump's win (by virtue of the electoral votes he received) has to be considered an amazing feat. Not only did he have to beat an unbeleiveably...

    Are Us Airports Really That Bad?

    I just flew from San Antonio to Houston to Bogota yesterday. Hardly any line at the checkpoint; although I have TSA Pre-check I never seem to be able to use it. Yesterday I found out - my NEXUS Card shows my middle name; my reservation does not! All because of a middle name! I started...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    Noesdeayer - the country has been seriously divided over the last 8 years. Children aren't being educated they are being indoctrinated; being dumbed down. Common Core? A terrible social experiment. The current president is responsible for how race relations have digressed to the 1950s...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    Sadly through it all Saddam Hussein did have WMD that he used against the Kurds and Iraq in the form of poison gas. Some of those same non-existent WMD have surfaced in Syria; both (well who knows how many sides) have either tried to use them or threatened to use them. Several gas shells...

    Hillary Rodham Clinton Next President Of The United States.

    Ries this is the same CIA that brought us WMD in Iraq and a whole lot of other disasters - the latest - Obama says his intelligence agencies blew it on ISIS. Not much better these days but the FBI went down the Russian involvement path months ago and claimed there was no interference. The...

    Let's Talk It Over.

    In the vote in Colombia to ratify the peace treaty the vote by the people was against the treaty. What it means that if a newly elected President in Colombia wants they can negate and cancel the treaty. My wife, Colombian, flew to Mexico City (where she lived and was registered to vote in...

    Fidel Castro Dead At 90 Years Of Age.

    Nikad - when you rule with absolute terror and a real threat of being imprisoned, tortured, then murdered by the government - and as others alluded, ratted out by the neighborhood snitch - those who opposed Castro were very quiet about it.

    A Honky Like Me.

    I voted for Trump. I watched as the left leaning media, the Clinton Machine, and the Old Republican Guard attempted with one contrived scandal after another to stop him. The political dynasty has forgotten who they are supposed to serve...We the people; not the other way around. People lament...
