We have a very crooked political caste.
I'm giving this as an example; I don't want to get into a political discussion. But in the last government alone, we received around 50 billion dollars from the FMI also alone, that was entirely dilapidated.

Do you have a source on that? Most of the money was used to pay the debt from Kirchner's government

Do _you_ have a source on _that_?
Anyway, here's a source [1] for you. It says in the month before the elections, the central bank of Argentina sold over 4 billion dollars to keep the dollar rate at bay (2.7 billion _just_ in the week prior..
Between the "PASO" (Elections where all candidates can postulate, but only those that get over a certain % of votes do make it to the primaries) and the primaries, more than 20 billion dollars were sold in the internal market:
> Desde las PASO las reservas cayeron USD 23.000 millones y los depósitos, unos USD 13.000 millones
(Im' quoting the article here). Where is YOUR source.
