Argentine Poverty
Data from Indec (Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Y Censos de La Republic Argentina) shows that some 7.7 million Argentines--20% of the population--spends between zero and 140 pesos ($45) a month, or less than 4.60 pesos (about $1.50) a day; of that group, the average lives on less than 2.75 pesos (about 89 cents) daily. Here are three articles (1, 2, 3) on these not-so-attractive stats.

Many of us (Argentineans) want to believe that the country is BsAs, Patagonia, Iguazu Falls, Ski Resorts in las Leñas and polo horses... and that's exactly what we also want foreign people to believe.
But sadly, there's another Argentina beyond that...the reality that most of the time we don't wanna see.
Keep it up.
