As Daniel wrote in his blog today even a revolution cannot necessarily save a bankrupted country.

Preppers’ PING!!

Argentina has bountiful resources and a politically simplistic population.

Amazing how American media has been silent.

The Economist ignores the question of misleadership...or should we call it malleadership...or just plain popularism. Is the US on the road to Peronism?

“A persistent refusal to confront reality”

Sounds like our problem to the hilt. It cannot be allowed to happen, as it almost invariably shows Leftist ideas to be terrible. So a Big Lie like “we didn’t do enough Stimulus” is fed to the sheeple, and after a time, many believe it.

This won’t end well . . .

Well at least they can fill the soccer stadiums with enthusiastic fans .... abet starving, jobless, etc. but fans none the less.

“a bankrupted country”...

So just how is Soros involved there?

The real danger is not following the ideology of Marx, but of Keynes.

Pray for the people of Venezuela. Their government is killing them.

This is of course anecdotal but there is an amazing difference between the way the average citizen of Chile conducts him/her self and the way the average citizen of Argentina conducts him/her self. The former more often than not understands the basic tenets and merits of capitalism. Do your own experiment.

“The Argentines remain perhaps the best-looking people on the planet.”

I will read the whole piece later, but I had to comment on this, which seems to me profoundly false. I’ve only known a couple of people from Argentine, and they were just OK looking. Are there even any famous actors or actresses from there?

I find many types of people attractive, but for Latin Americans nobody beats the Cubans for looks, imho.

The resources of Argentina should be owned by people in Argentina, and they should be free to produce from those resources. The same goes for the U.S.A. But that’s not the case.

-——Mercosur——

Now there’s a blast from the past. I thought Mercosur was dead and gone a long time ago.

Meanwhile, in the Gulf, the Mercosur inspired Gulf Cooperation Council is thriving on the internal trade resulting from dropping rivalries and tariffs.
