A banner shows a vulture, symbolizing a U.S. hedge fund, carrying a bag of money in front of the U.S. flag outside Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2014. Congress is expected to vote on a bill, that if approved, would allow Argentina to pay creditors locally in Argentina. Argentina was forced into a second default on July 30 following a decade-long legal battle with U.S. investors including hedge funds who refused to accept lower payments for bonds that the South American country defaulted on in 2001. The investors obtained a U.S. court order, preventing Argentina from making interest payments which triggered the second default. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)
