US citizens had the chance to watch a recurring documentary, either on PBS or a cable network regarding the horrendous collapse, impact upon so many people in Argentina who had never been through anything like that in their lives, absolutely devastating them.

You'd think so much financial hardship would have taught the entire country to avoid everyone who could in any way lead the country back in that direction.

Maybe this time the lesson is going to stick. Hope they learn it quickly, in time to show Macri the door before he's ready to go.
