To the critics with no opinion of their own

See? The K supporters are specialists in ignoring the way they keep robbing the country blind, increase corruption, increasing their personal fortunes, launder drugs money in the campaign, and a big etcetera.

And note that the answers to my replies say mostly K wanted this or that. Intentions are not important here, only the things done and its effects. K did something to get votes? Sure. K did something to excert more control over the press? Sure, can be. K this or that? Yes, but the facts are objective, neocon economic principles are not. Review your answers, half of them say that the economy will be wrong because a Chicago economics principle says so. Guess what, you are wrong, and that is one of the motives of why you are here and not in your mortgaged house in the US.

Just so I understand.....Are you using the term "neocon" here to refer to what is commonly called "neoliberal" economics (not to be confused with liberal politics)?

Neoliberalism is an approach to economics in which control of economic factors is shifted from the public sector to the private sector. Drawing upon principles of Adam Smith's liberal economics, neo-liberalism suggests that

• governments reduce deficit spending,
• limit subsidies,
• reform tax law to broaden the tax base,
• remove fixed exchange rateshttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/neoliberalism.asp#
• open up markets to trade by limiting protectionism,
• privatize state-run businesses,
• allow private property and
• back deregulation.

The use of the term "liberal" in economics is different from its use in politics. Liberalism in economics refers to "freeing up (or liberating)" the economy by removing barriers and restrictions to what actors can do. Neoliberalismhttp://www.investopedia.com/terms/n/neoliberalism.asp# seeks to create a laissez-faire atmosphere for economic development.

This is the general approach taken under Menem.....except for the parts he ignored and perverted... (examples, he used privatizing state run businesses as an opportunity to steal a substantial portion of the proceeds, limited protectionism but continued to protect wineries owned by his family from competition, offered huge subsidies/payoffs to his supporters and so forth).

Exactly, whatever economic model Menem used he did not really represent since he corrupted it with the purpose of gaining power and money for him....deja vu anybody ? (again, MENEM=KIRCHNER) Also, K supporters keep blaming all of today´s problems (the few ones they acknowledge) on Menem but, and again, their lack of seeing reality and accept amazes me, why dont they say anything against the fact the Kirchner himself said (and there´s video footage to prove it) that Menem was the best president in our history and that his actions will be forever remembered !!!!

Really, K supporters, how can you live with yourselves, so much hipocracy and ovbious lies ! it really amazes me, there should be some sort of social study on on this very particular group of ppl (supporters that follow kirchner blindly and are not getting a choripan in return), i sure am curious as to what motivates them. Similar study should be done on Menem supporters (yes, there´s still ppl that defends blindly menem´s administration)

Wait, I thought the problem was the big, bad United States? An appeal to nationalistic pride and finger pointing will deflect attention from real internal problems....
