icanthearyou 4,462 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Population isn't the issue, it's policy, welfare, etc., of a country. What happened in Argentina is just a microcosm of what is happening in America. You are correct about population but, wrong about everything else. Politically, socially, economically, historically we are a vastly different country. I invoke Ben 's rule......prove it with data........that we aren't headed to the same demise as Argentina. It's not just the economic policies. It's the moral decline as well. What was considered good is bad. What was bad is good. Yea buddy, they is a godless bunch. http://www.cbs8.com/...syrian-refugees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cptau 169 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 This is a short history of what is happeneing in America today and a comparison with Argentina. I've visited Argentina twice. The vast majority of people there are descended from European immigrants, mostly Spanish and Italian. They also are now heavily concentrated in cities there. That has probably hurt their agricultural output. Buenos Aires looks more like Paris than a city in South America. When I was there they had tied their peso directly equal to the dollar trying to hold inflation. U.S. Currency was accepted everywhere at face value. For its first 100 years Argentina had the same fight over confederation vs federation that the U.S. did. Federation won. I think what hurt Argentina was swings between facist type governments and socialist governments. The facist drove away industry and the socialist destroyed the economy with taxation.

Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Wow...and here I thought liberals loved Youtube videos. They don't like anything that don't suit their case. Not a liberal but, I do not care for false narratives that are more about stoking irrational fear than providing an accurate depiction of reality. But only liberals are allowed to define reality. How do I know....by reading their posts here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberals here are doing both with the high taxes and over regulation of every little thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,if you have absolutely no understanding economic fundamentals. Please cite examples where the price of gas is a significant factor in the results of socialism. Thank you. That was never my contention. The price of oil, in many instances, is an economic indicator. If the price of oil is dropping, the reason is often due to an actual or anticipated decline in economic activity. Small countries with less diverse economies or, heavily oil dependent (on exporting, particularly if extraction costs are high) economies are especially vulnerable. However, since you mentioned socialism, there is a form at work here. Argentina is keeping their internal per barrel price higher than the global market. I am assuming but, I would guess it is an effort to support an industry that is still developing. This, in my opinion is the worst sort of socialism. The type that benefits a few at the expense of many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
