Argentina tries to restructure $83bn debt

This is how the fable of the goose that lays the golden eggs goes in Argentina:

The goose is evil, because the golden eggs belong to the Argentines and the goose has stolen it from them. Therefore they roast and eat the goose and complain that no more golden eggs show up after the goose is gone.

Try to explain the flaw in the logic and you must be hiding the stolen eggs, you may be next on the menu.

Outsiders may be puzzled why Argentina can only go backwards, but if you understand the flawed mentality of the majority of the people in this country, you see there is no other way.

There is a minority that tries to keep things floating by going against the currents, there are just too many others that try to live off them.
