Argentina elects "far-right" libertarian--will they turn it around?

He should be very proud of the 52% poverty rate his policies have created. Well done
Milei has maintained all along that the transitionary period was going to involve some pain. When he was elected, I wondered if he’d be able to survive long enough politically to see it through. I still do.

But taking note of the pain they’re having now is like walking into an operating room and scolding the surgeon for all the blood. It’s surgery - it’s gonna have some blood.

But he’s making good moves and it will attract capital investment. The country is going to end up being prosperous again.
 


If you had a difficult day, this will cheer you up.

Sound policies produce sound outcomes. If he can weather the political storm of the transition period and stay the course, Argentina will be poised to prosper tremendously in coming decades.

My effort to get Milei elected here fell a little short, dammit. But hopefully we (and the rest of the debt-laden world) will take note of his proscriptions and their results.

Milei is saving Argentina and if he can stay in office, will be giving their poor a real chance at a very prosperous future. Bless him.

Meanwhile, in the USA we have idiots espousing and implementing rent control and then bitching that housing is so expensive and hard to find. Kamala wanted to double down with rent control on groceries.

Tell Javier to cross at the Mexican border, it's open. He can't be president but maybe we can make him the Czar of educating politicians on unintended consequences and their actual solutions. Make that a cabinet position.
