Argentina + Socialism = Beef Imports?
The funniest thing I saw today was "Vick's an Eagle, Hide Your Beagle" until I saw this...
“The world is currently divided into three types of countries: the developed ones, the emerging nations and Argentina.” That is a former Brazilian agricultural minister now serving on the board of large Brazilian meatpacking company JBS. Even accounting for nationalistic rivalries, he is more or less accurate. The quote comes from a story about how Argentina is destroying one of its most storied industries (and part of its culture) via insane economic meddling. You could chalk this one up under the logic of Aneurin Bevan.
UPDATE: And just in case you were wondering, the funniest thing I read before the Vick thing was "'Cash for Clunkers' is just 'death panels' for cars." (UPDATE: or it could equally be described as "IOUs for suckers."
