    The fact is the countries budget, economy, the investment, it’s view from the rest of the world is in a complete and utter shambles. It’s in a state that most countries won’t see ever. That requires drastic action.

    This is not the option between doing nothing and doing something.

    Something has to be done and something has been done. You’re being critical of change that was required.

    Personally I hope the lives of Argentina’s improve. I wouldn’t want to wish that misery just so I could say an expert on the matter is wrong.

    It’s not a fallacy at all. It just shows you know nothing about the subject. You come across as man screaming at the scientist because there is no way they could have gone to the moon because you don’t understand it. You don’t know how to go to the moon but you “know” it’s wrong. You got the feelings and that’s all that matters.

    I’m sorry you dislike a guy so much. But I bet you got a million and one reasons why communism is great and all its failings can be explained with endless excuses.

      So I checked out Google scholar and to be honest for the alleged 20 years of being a researcher his contribution to the academic community seems marginal at best. Holding him up to the usual performance metrics, most postdocs in my lab had more citations and I also don’t see articles in big journal. Leaving aside the fact that your whole argument is subject to a logical fallacy your appeal to authority doesn’t seem to appeal to a good authority. He may have been working in the industry and he may have been involved in policy making, but that doesn’t mean he’s any authority when it comes to economics as a scientific discipline.

        I’m not really inclined to listen to someone that has no idea what they are on about verse a literal ex professor. If someone who has any idea what they are on about starts making logical arguments rather than “I don’t like him” then I might listen. But you, do you. Have fun.

          Ironic you said this after being provided a list of logical reasons from someone also in academia.

          FYI, it’s pointless to lie directly in response to the thing you’re saying you’d accept.

            If a country is running a deficit and everyone agree that needs to be fixed. Saying you don’t agree that your taxes have gone up and benefits have gone down without providing any alternative is meaningless. It’s just whinging.

          Tell me you’re not a scientist without telling me you’re not a scientist.
