Be careful what you wish for. His rhetoric might be appealing, but his actions just might open up Argentina to asset raiding from Wall Street. In this day and age, very little is as it seems. I would be suspect of anyone who is just a little too silver-tongued, ie....Obama, Viveck....

I'm not saying he's perfect none of us are but these globalists have had their bite at the Apple and the world sees how that is turning out! So why can't he have a chance!? I know freedom and being able to make your own decisions in life like how to raise your children and what kind of car you would like to drive maybe a foreign concept to some people but let's give it a chance see how it goes! It can't be any worse than the direction we're going in now.

He is not an economist, but a fraud.Just look at the difference between, for example, America and Sweden. In America, which is totally capitalist and in its worst form, people sleep on the streets without any hope for a better life, while Sweden has a social component and the people in general live much better than the people in America.
