Something Old To Further Comment Upon, Now . . . ? ? ?

[rpkerston]

Oh, dear...

Well, I certainly realized before now that I'd provoke some interesting comments, here. What I had been *hoping* to actually learn, though, is more about whether or not ANY of what La Campora (which I am very much aware of - and, in fact, my reference in the original post to my already having an understanding of the 'source' was intended to convey that) wrote in this brochure was at all truthful. I suspected it as propaganda, of course... but I don't know if ANYthing in it smacks of more than that and is, in fact, a truthful statement. As mentioned, already, I have managed to learn a bit about the origins of the issue and the background, but this pamphlet mentions issues that I have no knowledge of... I have (obviously) my own personal feelings about both the past and current governments (as do, obviously, others, here); however, I had hoped that I might gain some - perhaps - non-ideological / factual information as to whether any of the things stated were at all true. I may have pushed the wrong button by asking... Can we re-set this?

Democracy Now? Man, that crowd is to the left of Lenin! Think of them as middle-aged Cámporistas. Nothing to see here, folks!

I presume you saying that this source is "to the left of Lenin" is a joke? Its not the msm sure, but its barely left of centre (at least for a non-US citizen like myself).

That's funny, I found at least one fact in virtually every sentence in the article.

1. It is true that this agreement doesn't solve the peoblem with the vultures. I do not lnow is 500 billion is correct.

2. It is true that there were other options becase the Griesa's decision wasn't enforzable.

3. it is true that the former administration made a lot to pay the debt. That is why now, Macri is able to take massive new loans.

4. It is true thatthis agreement and budget cut has no relationship. The plan of this new administration involved to cut taxes to rich people and now they have 6% tax deficit. So, it was the President call to fire a lot of people.

5. It is irresponsible to vote the agreement because of 1)

6. It is true what The Campora stated because every time the IMF is involved, like now, they demand austerity.

7. It is true that there are other ways for financing like taxing. Remember the tax cut fir minery and farmers.
The issue is that Macri wants to take loans for paying salaries while this was made with own resorces from taxing.

8. Investments? With the world like it is? I guess they are right.

1. The agreement does solve the problem with the holdouts, at least as far as getting Argentina out of default and reopening the credit markets. Effectively, it ends the problem.

2. Griesa's decision not only is enforceable, but it is in force. Argentina is in default and has virtually no access to world credit.

3. I just have to laugh at that one.

4. Without this agreement, the job cuts so far will look like nothing compared to what will have to be done. Taxes are ridiculously high in this country, which is unfair and adds to the problems of inflation and competitivity in world markets, which have been killing the Argentine economy for years now.

5. More ridiculousness.

6. If you want to borrow money, you have to abide by the rules. The rules are there for a reason. The rules are the same for every country. If a person wants to take a loan from the bank, the bank imposes rules and limits. The same principles apply for a country.

7. More taxes? More taxes? More taxes?

8. There is plenty of money out there in the world for investment. The only question is where it will go. If Argentina doesn't fix its problems and play by the same rules as the rest of the world, not much of that money is ever going to come here.

Your answers could not have been more wrong. However, your answers have qualified you for a one-way ticket to Venezuela, where, if you hurry, you may actually find one or two gatos locos who might actually believe them.
