Re Argentine debt: a 9% growth rate is not a very good argument for not paying, especially since most of the debt has already been written off. While “we cannot pay” was at the time a good argument ten years ago for writing off a large portion of the debt, those conditions no longer apply.
Just one more example of the cultural continuity of the vivo approach in Argentina. From Juan Domingo and before, to Videla to the Kirchners: the vivo has remained a large part of Argentine culture.
[For those unfamiliar w the term: vivo~ con man, flim-flam artist...]
