A total failure. Poverty rose 52 percent. But inflation is at 2.7% this year.
This austerity didn't cause prosperity.

He's just another idiot who confuses microeconomic debt with macro economic debt and wants to remove it because it is debt and must be "bad". Argentina will plummet into a 3rd world GDP and the US will see all of it and still try it.
The rich want to cut away anything that stands between them and more money - including safeguards for the people.
