Today is a catch-up session with some leading Latin American columnists.
The Miami Herald's Andres Oppenheimer writes about the drastic changes in Buenos Aires he observed there after a 10 month absence.
Argentina's economy...has gone from sweet...to sour.
'The 8-year long fiesta is over.'
Oppenheimer blames President Cristina Fernandez's politics...using massive subsidies of $19 billion in 2011...to buy and insure support...for the nation's decline.
