You almost never hear that, in the myriad articles and YouTube videos that have been put out on the subject of Argentina's foreign debt.

It's almost always some vague reference to "social spending" - which was actually a small part of it (since that's mostly domestically financed, in pesos not onerous hard currency).

That said, I'm glad you enjoyed it. My parents are from there, which is why I have some familiarity with the subject.

There's a line in a tango tune (which, unlike the gymnastic, leg-thrusting picture people often have of it - is actually pretty gentle and forlorn), that goes: "Don't bother hoping; no one will ever fix this."

Certainly not that Trump-smooching Chukcy doll they have down there these days.

All the Best.
