  1. Not really. The government is just a reflection of the people who elected them. Short-sighted, frivolous and proud.

  2. The government already does that. To the detriment of its economy.

  3. And the people themselves.

  4. Austerity is the result of unsustainable economic policies which includes vote-buying.

  5. Only in Democratic-run cities and states.

  6. No. Far-left populism. Enough said.

  7. No. Far-left populist politics did Argentina in. Most of Argentina's problems are of its own making.

  8. That's not Argentina's problem. Argentina's problem is its addiction to promises of free stull from populists, treasury and economy be damned!

  9. You mean Argentina and Brazil.
    1
  10. Actually because of the decision of majority.

  11. Pretty much.

  12. Pretty much.

  13. Socialism and far-left populism destroyed Argentina.

  14. Fascism is a branch of socialism.
    1
  15. All Democratic-run paradises.
    1
  16. Neither do the people themselves.

  17. So are the people who elected them. In Argentina's case, this is what happens when the ignorant and foolish are allowed to vote.

  18. Argentina got bankrupted by socialism, not capitalism.

  19.  @analyticalhabitrails9857  Pride. Local elites don't want to lose the power they have over their little locales.

  20. Not like Argentina as Argentina cannot afford the "free" stuff citizens have grown accustomed to.

  21. Far-left populist politics tanked Argentina.

  22. They already do that. Hence their inability to make much-needed reforms as they fear unrest and ouster although they know they don't have the money to sustain the welfare state.

  23. Argentina = bankrupted by socialists and other leftists.
    1
  24. Mostly situated in places run by leftists.

  25. Exactly.

  26. Argentina cares about the people to the point of bankrupting itself to provide all that welfare.
    1
  27. Meh. They got what they voted for. Endless welfare is just not sustainable.
    1
  28. Exactly.
    1
  29. Including the greed of average people.
    1
  30. No. This is a consequence of having populists who promise the people free stuff and endless welfare run the country. It's not the IMF's fault Argentina keeps practicing bad policies leading to bankruptcy just so politicians can buy votes from the ignorant and hedonistic populace.

  31. Pretty much. Well at least the government works for the people.
