In regard to the statement “Today, Argentina is in total disintegration. Not only is the economy in its fifth year of recession/depression”. This is totally inaccurate. Since the collapse in 2001/2002, Argentina has experienced average GDP growth that is triple the rate of the US, ranging from 7.03 to 9.15%, hardly “total disentegration”. Furthermore, foreign investment in real estate and agricultural endeavors has flourished in the last six years. But don’t take my word for it, see for yourself:

i think the word neo-lib has many different meanings. it is really the republicon mantra but the term makes it seem that it is liberal which is not true, reagan started this globalism full force by attacking unions and giving the rich huge tax breaks. this globalism has bankrupted our country where now 2% own 98% of the wealth. this is the main problem this country has, too much power in too few hands .i have not heard dr. paul mention anything about this, all i hear is stop social security and medicare. and he became a congressman on the heels of the reagan revolution and the republicons are the ones who have buried us in debt, but all you hear is how obama is spending money. i do agree with dr. paul on the trade agreements and the federal reserve but you can’t throw the baby out with the bath water.

For The Joker. Actually there were huge revolts in Argentina during the collapse of their economy. They were burning tires, and the banging of the pots. All this was being posted at indymedia.org. Meanwhile their news channels there and here pretty much showed none of the violence. Especially in Argentina where the soap operas and TV shows went on as usual as if NOTHING was going on outside it was really incredible to watch go check it out.

Clinton associate James Carville has advised Argentina’s Peronist party (named after an anti-American fascist dictator).

john you puke are you dissing ron paul. THE GOV SOLD OFF ALL ARGENTINA’S GOLD THEN GAVE THEM PHONEY LOANS(CREDIT) LOW INFLATION RATES AND THEN INCREASING THE CREDIT TO THEIR HIGHEST LEVELS THEY HAD EVER SEEN. THEN THEY LOOTED THEIR PENSION MONEY TRIED TO REFINANCE WITH HUGE LEVELS OF MONEY PRINTING(QUANTITIVE EASING) THEY IMPLODED THE ECONOMY AND THE PEOPLE WERE LEFT WITH A WORTH-LESS CURRECY PESO WAS CRISPY CRITERED(THEY QUEUED TO BUY AMERICAN DOLLARS FOR YEARS NOW THEY DON’T WANT THEM). THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE BEFORE. OH YES ANYONE WHO THEN BEFORE HAND HAD BOUGHT FOREIGN CURRENCY SILVER OR GOLD RETAINED THEIR WEALTH. NOW THE WHOLE WORLD IS A HUGE ARGENTINA THERE IS ONLY ONE SAFE CURRENCY LEFT. GOLD AND SILVER.
