The Treasury, under John Snow, must wake up to its international responsibilities to sustain economic order. Read: American taxpayers should rebuild South America.

It's not enough that billions go each year to SA from illegals sending money. Now we should outright send tax dollars. No way!!!

Argentina and Brazil are still crippled by a massive government sector. The IMF money is misspent so there's no need to send more until these countries institute some real reforms.

This article didn't really go far enough in pointing out the disparity in incomes in Argentina. That $2,500 is in inflated dollars. The $2,800 average 100 years ago was quite a bit of money.
