When inflation is not really *inflation*

Ufff, again, somebody already posted why the figures are doctored. And the trick worked.
Wow, the "trickery worked"? Can you really believe Argentina’s deceptive and creative financing will not have consequences? A friend showed me a shoe box full of one million peso notes that belonged to his parents. It was his family’s life savings and completely worthless. With all due respect, you are an idiot to believe it cannot happen again: hyperinflation. We usually get what we deserve.

good luck getting past Wednesday. :p

Seriously! :D

Does anyone have a link to an article where Cristina mentions you can eat on 20pesos a day? I can't find it. Thanks!
 
I saw it yesterday, but don't remember in which paper. It was either La Nacion, Clarin, or Perfil.
 
Yes I remember LAPA. I travelled a few times with them within Argentina. Always great service, and they didn't discriminate against foreigners like AA does with its dual pricing policy.
You would want to google LAPA before saying that in public. I don't want you to be embarrassed later. You know, in front of somebody that knows somebody who died. Or worked there.

What's next? Taking advice from Chaban about security exits?

The airlines double standard applies also for LAN, but it never gets named. Why? Mmmm, maybe because you don't hate so much private companies. Or Chilean ones (ahhh, Chile, the dream of the local neocon). In any case, those are promotions for Argentineans, not penalties for foreigners. Travel like everybody else in this country: by bus (or train if you are really poor). You would say that high airplane prices hurt our tourism industry. It is not exactly Cancun here, and that is not the kind of tourist that we cater for. It seems that there is even a AA coupons with cheap flights for foreigners now (if you come from abroad with AA).

We can disagree, but you don't need to take opposite sides all the time, because that means sometimes putting yourself in the side of the abyss like in a Saturday morning cartoon.

Why stop there? Ask Ibarra about charging bribes and disregarding the safety of people in his own city to line his own pockets. I want some of the Kool aid you're drinking.
 
Take into account that Cachanovsky is not a good source for opinion. He is the guy that said that the dollar would cost today something like 10 pesos. Nobody takes him seriously because he uses data to make false claims, in this note if I read right, he is saying that K saids something because the INDEC claims something. Yes, the INDEC cooked the books to pay less for some debt. And the world did not collapsed (as it did when American banks did it).

Do you have a link to this article you refer to? I suppose if nobody takes Cachanosky seriously because he uses DATA to make false claims, who will take the Ks seriously when they use hyperbole and misinformation to support their false claims.

Also, here's a link to one of his latest pieces on monetary theory in Argentina....
