President Javier Milei, who has been in office for just over a month, is looking to employ tough austerity measures to bring down inflation, reduce a deep fiscal deficit and rebuild government coffers.
Milei has been pretty open about their policies… Unfortunately Argentina’s economy is a dumpster fire and neoliberal asshats have been driving it further into the ground. You can think of Argentina’s election of Milei as a hail mary… But an extremely I’ll advised one.
When you’re desperate even insane radical change can seem better than the status quo.
-cut useless government spending on extremely corrupt practices that permeate all public spending in the country to save money
-reduce spending as the previous economy ministry/presidential candidate left the country reserves in ruins spending 15 thousand millions USD in only 6 months just to try to buy the campaign and still lost.
-rebuild the country’s monetary reserves by auditing spend.
scrap necessary government functions (like environmental oversight) for short term savings
remove restrictions on foreign investment
It’s a mixed bag with Milei, some ideas are reasonable, some are hard to imagine how they’ll be feasible, some are dumb… And a few are attributed to his dead dog.
Narco communist government stopped all free trade and got loans to give many people the dole while selling ports and land to China on the cheap.
GASOLINE is subsidized for many billions usd a year while they don’t even have any crude…
It’s sooooo many ridiculous laws that stop progress.
NOW CHANCE IS UNDER WAY. HE IS THERE ONLY SINCE LESS AS A MONTH AGO.
All the news the people here in the comments are repeating (without source) IS LEFTISH PROPAGANDA. plz find a real source towards argentinas recent history. There are great easy to understand YouTubes of renowned tubers. Have fun.
Argentina and Ecuador will WIN AGAINST ORGANIZED NARCO CORRUPTION! FREEDOM WILL PREVAIL. THE GOOD PEOPLE ARE MORE.
Wait so, is this a conjob to later try to switch the country over to some cryptocoin, or was that the stated goal the whole time?
I genuinely feel bad for Argentinians, but jesus christ never put an AnCap in charge of a state.

Wonderful.
I have not had enough time to follow everything about Milei, so it was a genuine question.
My nearest point of reference was El Salvador.
No you got that wrong. The neoliberal asshats are trying to fix it.
Just like how they sre tryingbto fix it in the US? Neoliberalism isnt the cure for late-stage capitalism. It’s the cause
I don’t know what you have in the US, but I wouldn’t call it very neoliberal.
You might not, but the majority of people who know what neoliberalism is would.
-stop printing worthless paper money bills
-cut useless government spending on extremely corrupt practices that permeate all public spending in the country to save money
-reduce spending as the previous economy ministry/presidential candidate left the country reserves in ruins spending 15 thousand millions USD in only 6 months just to try to buy the campaign and still lost.

Wow the insanity
Those are pretty sane ideas but…
charge protesters for their own arrest
convert the country to using USD
scrap necessary government functions (like environmental oversight) for short term savings
remove restrictions on foreign investment

Can you elaborate on the dead dog? Is this a metaphor or do you mean it literally?

He speaks to God by communing with his dead dog Conan who he has since has cloned.
I think they were looking at US $ as the replacement, not crypto.
No, it’s a DECADE of this.
