Argentina has other problems, currency is just an symptom.
1) There is no dollar outrun, there is a government that artificially keeps the dollar cheap for political / economic esoteric reasons. So it needs to prevent massive access to that cheap dollar market.
2) Most the population hardly reaches the end of month, so the "lack of dollars" issue directly affects less than 30% of it, because the rest don't even have pesos to exchange for dollars.
3) The real problem of the people is that we've no credit... No 20 years mortgages for buying a house, 6 years is the best you can get, and only in specially stable situations. So the little guy can't "invest" his little money in anything bigger than a car. That has the secondary effect that the little money you save, you need to spend it quick before the government eats it. That's good for the economy, good for the government, bad for the little guy.
All in all, this is a government that has "kept" unemployment rates low, sacrificing other economic variables. Yes, it's socialism, but that's better than what we had from previous governments.
And yes, this is a corrupt government, but that doesn't really make our country a special enough to be news for nerds.
