Argentina Freezes Prices To Break Inflation Spiral

[Rich One]

Christina has just solved a problem that has baffled economists for decades: how to halt inflation. By the stroke of a pen Christina has rewritten the economics text books and is now guaranteed the Nobel Premio in Economics for 2013.

Yes But , she must bear in mind that : "With the Macro you don't Fxxck Around" A Universal Lema....!!

The supermarkets will not restock their items, you will have a mad rush on the stores, people will end up selling things like milk on the black market and then, April 1, the supermarkets will begin to restock and the prices will have gone up 30% or more. The government looks to policies and procedures of the 40's. 50's and 60's, that have been proven failures, and expects them to work now. All they have to do is keep lying to their people and the IMF for the next two years and then they are out.

Great novel idea. Freeze prices! Never tried before, never miserably failed systematically. Nope, never ever.

Pure genius!

But where are all the posters that said the economy was "fine" the other week?

But where are all the posters that said the economy was "fine" the other week?

Off walking around the streets wearing their most expensive jewelry and using their iphones on the street (because there is no crime problem) and planning their vacations in Europe/the US (b/c there are no currency restrictions) and bemoaning the bad weather (which despite not existing is to blame for the drop in tourism on the coast).

I'm sure the supermarket shelves will be plastered with signs "Limit of 2 items per purchase" on oil, sugar, flour, mate etc
