Comments

Argentina has elected too many Presidents who promised “free stuff”. The government has overspent and printed money to cause inflation for too long. Their 154% Debt to GDP is excessive and needs to be reduced. They need to cut government spending, lower taxes on Exports and grow their way out of this.
