Grexit- Greece and the Argentina example of default and recovery revisited in June 2015 with an impasse in debt negotiations
06/25/2015
James Stewart in the NYT cites 2 papers, one by Prof. Arturo Porzecanski at American University and the other from Daniel Gros at the Center for European Policy Studies in Brussels, which show the serious problems of Greece following the Argentina example. Argentina defaulted on its debt in 2001 with the the ensuing years resulting in economic chaos. It recovered because of demand from Brazil and China for its exports of soyabeans, corn and soya oil. It also has large oil and shale reserves. Greece's main exports are cotton and fish, which are not in high demand, and cannot provide an economic boost. Tourism has gone up with price reductions, yet total revenues have not changed. The Greek banks are dependent on the ECB for financing, and the Greek business sector operates with borrowings in euros. Conversion to drachmas would be much more difficult than Argentina's shift to the peso and removing the peso's peg to the dollar. Stewart says he talked to Greece's finance minister Varoufakis about this, and Varoufakis is of the view that Argentina is not the right example for Greece. Greeks voted in Syriza to negotiate a better deal, and rejecting austerity- yet a majority of Greeks in 2015 favor staying in the eurozone and the European Union.

06/25/2015
The NYT editorial calls the arguments specious based on a four word phrase's ambiguity, and says it was pulled out of thin air by the plaintiffs. In the end it was Justice Kennedy ruling in favor that turned a 6-3 decision away from the 5-4 decision on other issues with the Affordable Care Act in 2012.

The Justices on the Supreme Court in the 2015 Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act
06/25/2015
One columnist in the NYT says the Supreme Court's credibility itself was at stake in deciding on the health subsidies, because the decision depended on a four word phrase in the drafting of a long document called the Affordable Care Act. Looking at the phrase without the context of the whole "legislative plan" would have resulted in a different opinion. In the end it was left to Justice Roberts to look at the larger picture.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
