"When we hit rock bottom, we will bounce back," he said.
Or maybe you'll just go splat.
Why so negative?
Because shock therapy has been done before, and the west is effectively at war with the result right now. Argentina might not be as bad but it's easy to assume when looking at the history of the policy that it makes everything worse except for foreign and local elites.
Argentina has been bankrupt defaulted 7 SEVEN times.
They had over a decade of MORE AS ONE HUNDRED PERCENT INFLATION EACH YEAR.
This guy fixed it in one month by not overspending and bringing the peso to a level that is more in stroke with reality.
But the extreme leftish here on lemmy won't ever admit their zurdosdeemmmmmm fcked the country AND MANY OTHERS LIKE IT! for so long.
It's a pity that in developed countries you shouldnt vote right and in developing countries you shouldn't vote left. Both are abused by criminals and narcos and dictators
Argentine inflation is at 211.4% , the highest it's ever been in 32 years. The value of the Peso is about where it would be if it's existing downward trend had continued. Go check it, he's barely made a difference to it's value. I'm sure Milei's PR team is hard at work making up these claims but please fact check them because they're obviously BS.
The real thing is the spending had to stop. They spend more as they get in and they DON'T have the FED NOR US ARMY
This guy fixed it in one month
Did he?
Since he took office in December, Milei has slashed public spending, winning the approval of the International Monetary Fund and securing a budget surplus for the first time in 12 years in a country whose previous governments oversaw rampant inflation and multiple fiscal crises.
However, annual inflation has still risen to 254 percent, the price of bus tickets has more than tripled, and the government has frozen crucial aid to soup kitchens that have ever more mouths to feed.>
What did he fix?
Both are abused by criminals and narcos and dictators
Everything is subsumed and used by those hungry for power, and with the means to solidify it. That doesn't mean that the content of their claimed political thought doesn't have meaning, or that we can never conclude anything about humanity or its ideologies from looking at history, understanding theory, analyzing culture, power ...
Maybe understand why people here seem 'extreme' left, instead of just writing nonsensical, and obviously bad faith or confused arguments.
fixed
He didn't fix shit. If course he had a surplus, because he stopped spending for a period of time, But that doesn't mean the economy will be able to handle in the mid term.
