Spanish term or phrase: Manta corta
Se refiere a una situación en que si el estado de ocupa de una cosa, descuida otra.
Como el cuento de la manta corta, si uno se tapa la cabeza, se destapa los pies.
"Con una mayor apertura de la economía como ocurrió en la Convertibilidad, la compresión de márgenes (o el menor traslado a precios de los costos) dependiendo de la distancia al punto que equilibra el balance de cada empresa, generaría -al menos al principio- un aumento en el desempleo.
Si se hiciera bajando impuestos, aumentaría el déficit fiscal.
En definitiva, la sábana corta."

¿Alguna idea?
¡Gracias!
