For all those who like NK, CFK and the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo

Sure! You need more doctors and lawyers, then you will have a reasonable medical system instead of a ridiculous expensive one. So, every country have pros and contras.


You are F---ing kidding, right? The very last thing the US needs is more lawyers or more laws. And the medical system will never be affordable until someone disbands the mafia known as the AMA and requires the health insurance companies to stop price fixing and working in collusion with the drug companies to turn doctors into pill factories so each can support a personal fleet of Porsches.
One of the great things that Argentina has going for it is a free health-care system where everyone has access to treatment by well trained doctors. However, this will end soon because the insurance companies have entered the picture and grow stronger.

Do I understand you to say that by "poor" you mean the absence of wealth distributed to people throughout the country? The national debt/balance sheet is not part of the definition? You mean to say that the average person doesn't have much wealth. Hmm. Where do you get your data?

I am using all the meanings and in all of them we are poor. If you divide the wealth produced over 40.000.000 is low (wealth per capita). If you see the national debt/balance we are poor too. I had 2 subject about argentinian micro economy at University.

I thought you just said that poor was defined by distributed wealth which didn't take into account the national budget /balance sheet. Are you now saying something different , i.e., poor means national balance sheet and deficit status?

I am not saying anything different, just analyzing it from different views.

Do you mean the military junta that ruled from 1976-1983 was financially corrupt as was Menem and that these administrations ran up the external debt? That by implication the De LaRua and Alfonsin administrations were not corrupt and didn't increase external debt? Where do you get your data?

I already post this info in another tread you we debating too.
Before the dictadura the debt was about 10 billion, after 80 billions. Menem duplicated it during his government.
Politicians are corrupted all over the world but Menem and the dictators are the worst. 5% stealing is standard corruption all over the world, Menem took 50%. My sister is a scientist, he was granted with founds from Banco Mundial for her research during Menem government. They offer her 50% of the money but she should sign for the 100%, she rejected, she didn´t get any money for the project.

Was it you who said that workers en negra have no tax liability and that approx. 1/2 the work force is en negra? Is that better than the conditions that preceded K and, if so, how bad was it?

Now is less that 50/50. However I don´t understand you "question".

Where do you get the data that the middle class are self -employers (self-employed?)? What % of them are? Is it right that those that are not in unions fall behind because of infllation?

I know my country. This is a country where PYMES (very small companies) are a very important part of the economy. We have monotributo too, right?
But there are people, middle class who are employed, bad for them because some of them have no union.

If you repay it , it is free financing. If it doesn't get paid it is mismanagement. Is it being repaid?

The state never stop paying.

In fact, they need more, so they will have to decrease the ridiculous fees they charge Add 100.000 new lawyers and fee fall down. We have 50.000 lawyer in this city, how many are in NYC?

An educated people would never have voted for the Kirchners.

Just out of interest, who would an educated electorate have voted for in 2003 and 2007?

And, more pertinently, who would you imagine such an electorate voting for in 2011?

No way. More lawyers chasing ambulances and starting class action suits, etc. is one of the major the reasons for high medical costs, higher insurance costs and higher E & O costs. It's also the reason that US doctors practice chicken shit mediocre Medicine and order 10 tests for everything. They are running scared with every decision they make. Say what you will, but more lawyers is never the answer to any business or infrastructure question.
Argentina has a good and unique healthcare system, which, by the way, will be ruined by lawyers. See the movie Caranco for a preview of what is growing inside the system.

As those questions cut straight to the heart of the matter, I would not expect a reply of any substance.

I guess I didn't have great hopes when I asked.
