  1. But in Argentina's case, the common people happily voted for it. Endless welfare. Fiscal sustainability be damned!

  2.  @neverlookback1244  Italy and Spain are among the PIIGS.

  3. Exactly. Austerity is the inevitable consequence of economic mismanagement.

  4.  @nevarran  <They are usually given to some corporation that starts raking in billions in profit while giving pennies to the country and the people.> Better that than give it to the government that will do the same exact thing. Case in point: Venezuela. At least when they didn't mismanage the oil industry.

  6. The people themselves are part of the problem.

  7.  @yt_nh9347  But at least Texas is solvent and can hold its own economically.

  8. Seychelles. And then they voluntarily abandoned it as soon as the 1990's rolled in.

  9. Better than the socialism that has ruled Argentina since Peron.

  10. As a result of your own economic mismanagement.

  13.  @tnsocialist1257  Austerity wouldn't have been needed if Argentina's economy was solvent and managed decently. This is what happens when you pander to people "in need" with no viable economy to support it having to rely on outside aid and loans.

  14. There's hardly anything laissez-faire about Argentina. Argentina is a country with a bloated public sector and an economy too overtaxed and regulated to reliably support the model.

  15. Argentina has the wrong kind of European descendants in charge.

  16. Meh. Argentina brought it upon itself with socialism and the inherent fiscal mismanagement that followed.
