So imagine for a minute you are a parent and you have 7 kids. With the job you are working you can feed, clothe, and educate 5 kids properly. The only way to make the numbers work is letting 2 kids go without food. Those two kids are going to die. But if you only had to feed 5 kids, after a while you'd get a promotion at work since your boss doesn't see you so desperate and stressed out all the time. Over a long period of time you'd be earning enough to be able to properly support 7 kids, but it's going to take a few years, maybe a decade or more.
The other option is to go out right now and beg, borrow, and steal to try and get some extra food so that your 2 kids don't die. You're going to be permanently stressed out and at work they'll never trust you with a promotion because they know you are desperate and you can't be trusted. Now by begging, borrowing, and stealing, the family isn't ever going to be in a good situation. Things are going to be tough and you'll be living from hand to mouth forever, subsisting. But at least the kids won't die. But they will probably grow up without a good education and in poverty and have to repeat your situation.
What do you do?

If you haven't guessed by now, this is the story of Argentina. The country's economy doesn't generate enough to provide for everyone who lives here. A choice needs to be made. Cristina and the peronists will always go for the second option. Its the short-term fix, but keeps everyone eating. Macri and the right are going to want to fix the structural problem. Long-term it is the better fix, but there are people who are going to be left out in the cold in order to make the numbers work.
What do think?
Saludos!
