He uses the suffix -t-a-r-d a lot, so I guess he's got that going for him, but he doesn't say a single thing about what he wants to do or what he believes the role of government is...so...yeah, that probably answers my question :lol:

Argentina's Milei shuts up critics with miracle turnaround of economy, strong security policies

Argentina's annual inflation climbed to 289.4%

Month over month inflation is at 8.8% - compounding annually that's 275%.

But it's the lowest monthly inflation number in a whopping six months so.. time for celebration of this miracle turnaround I guess? 🤣

Trumpbots spiking the football at the 50 is always fun to see.

Some have called this a miracle!

"Argentina was one of the most regulated economies in the world," Raisbeck said. "So when you have a very well-thought-out package like the one that they introduced . . . and you get rid of as many of those regulations as you can, then it's very positive."

AT LEAST 90 INJURED AFTER PASSENGER TRAIN HITS BOXCAR, DERAILS IN ARGTENTINE CAPITAL

 

it’s pretty funny that right after the comments about how positive deregulation is, there is a link to an article about a passenger train colliding with a freight train.

Anybody else following what's going on in Argentina?  You scratch below the surface and after the exaggerated hyperbole of the campaign, Milei is following through on his campaign promises.  At the very least - a fascinating economic experiment is happening down there.  And it's refreshing to the see the economic change involving less government instead of more government

The inflation rate that you're constantly rheeing about, is higher in Argentina than it is here.

What are Meli's thoughts about a 10% tax on everything and centrally planned federally funded ghost cities?

No doubt - and its still very high down there.  Milei's success will be judged on whether his administration can successfully tackle that beast. 

According to Barron's, the Argentine monthly inflation rate is at its lowest in 2.5 years, so this is trending in the right direction.

Since our inflation rate is lower, can't it be argued that Biden has presided over an even larger economic miracle? I think the answer is a resounding yes!

Go check out the Barron's article in my last post.

You can argue anything you want, but your argument about a Biden economic miracle doesn't hold water.  And who would compare the American inflation rate to the Argentinian inflation rate to support a Biden economic miracle argument?

Look how much fun he's having. That's nice to see.

Consumer consumption, manufacturing and construction have slumped under Milei's peso devaluation and budget cuts, with a 5.3 percent contraction in economic activity in the first quarter.

The International Monetary Fund expects the Argentine economy to contract by 2.8 percent this year, after a 1.6-percent decline in 2023.

 

So the economy is collapsing, so consumption is dropping ... Which has the effect of reducing the rate of inflation to only insanely high instead of ludicrously high. BIG WIN.
