[...] In 1902 Argentina was one of the world’s richest countries. Little more than a hundred years later, it is poverty-stricken, struggling to meet its debt obligations amidst a drought. How did it happen? HotAir.com tells an all-too-familiar story. [...]

[...] Coming to America: An Argentina-Style Bust Failure to Embrace Free Markets Has Doomed Argentina In the early 20th century, Argentina was one of the richest countries in the world. It was blessed with abundant agriculture, vast swaths of rich farmland laced with navigable rivers and an accessible port system. Its level of industrialization was higher than many European countries: railroads, automobiles and telephones were commonplace. But changes such as mandatory pension insurance, mandatory health insurance, and support for low-income housing construction to stimulate the economy. Put simply, the state assumed economic control of a vast swath of the country’s operations and began assessing new payroll taxes to fund its efforts that led to it’s downfall. We’ve seen this movie before. The Democrats’ populist plans cannot possibly work, because government bankrupts everything it touches. History teaches us that ObamaCare and unfunded entitlement programs will be utter, complete disasters. The Greenroom » Forum Archive » Don’t Cry For Me, America [...]

Very well done! Bookmarked for forwarding and additional research. Wondering what their obligations, as a % of GDP, were at the hyperinflation stage.

Thanks for the history lesson.
I knew a bit about Argentina from Peron on, but prior to that, I was clueless.

Beautiful post, Directorblue! Too many people refuse to learn from the tragedies of history. I fear the collapse of the American system will be the IMAX version of the Argentine disaster movie.

I would like people to start thinking of a way to avoid this fate.

There has to be a way, there is no reason that we need to repeat this same lesson from history.

What say you, Dr. Z?

How appropriate that at the bottom of this post, I am seeing an ad for SarahPAC.
Some want to call her an Evita, but she is just the opposite.

This is maybe one of the 10 best Greemroom posts I’ve ever read. I’ll be forwarding the link to friends, and it should definitely get some front page love.

+ agree!

How much faster would Argentina’s economy, culture and country become a charred ash heap of it’s former self if accelerants like the cult of global warming, political correctness and a complicit media had been involved?

We have seen this coming slowly for years in America, but under this bho, team, and the dc bunch is has gone full blast since being elected. I just wonder if enough American’s will finally wake up or put their heads in the sand and let it happen here.

Nice post.

Too bad this, and other historical events, are no longer taught in high school as a requirement to graduate.

I don’t believe that any of this is the result of stupidity…it is flat out CORRUPTION. Not only are we in debt because of unfunded entitlements, but we literally have billions of dollars for which we cannot account. Today’s vote in the Senate just reinforced just how many of our elected officials are “on the take”. By the way, how many times have we bought Louisiana anyway? I know there was Jefferson, the Bush administration after Katrina, Nancy Pelosi to the one Republican and today Harry Reid to Landrieu.

An excellent piece! This needs to be moved to the front page. Great title too, by the way.

The old saw about those who don’t learn from history is so true. Big government programs always fail to accomplish their intended purpose, and always inflict unintended collateral damage to the citizens and to the nation’s well being.

When I tell people about Argentina, I am usually met with a blank stare. We are an uneducated populace, as our current “leadership” reflects. Need more canned goods and ammo I guess.

Getting old is hell, except for the fact that I grew up and lived in America’s Golden Age and will probably die before things collapse entirely. At least there is a chance that I will.

Since we’re so much smarter than the Argentinians we should be able to do this in a lot less than 100 years. Prepare yourselves for survival. Might be better to move from the large cities for rural areas. Montana is full but I hear N. Dakota is nice.

Hey, I have an idea!

Let’s elect Barack Hussein Obama as the President of the United States, and give him a majority in both the House and Senate of Liberal Marxist Socialist Fascist Democrats…

What could go wrong…?

Oh, wait!

Thanks Director,
When will we ever learn
when will we ever learn?

As if this has ever worked in any point in world history.
Oh, but the current slugs running the government have no idea of this and we are the poorer for it.

But, they are the smartest guys in that history and will do things much more efficiently. They’ll Make it work. /
