Argentina just can't get its finances in order. It seems that every time they borrow money they have an excuse to not pay it or to miss payments. It's too bad since it just makes it harder for the country to move forward. I read a book that detailed how in the early 1900s Argentina was considered the Jewel of South America. European Immigrants often debated whether they should emigrate to Argentina or the U.S. since they were considered on par as far as economic prosperity and opportunities for immigrants. It's a shame how things have changed over time.
