Argentina has notably only had a surplus for 12 years of the past 122 years of our history [[Fact-checked]](https://chequeado.com/ultimas-noticias/javier-milei-de-los-ultimos-122-anos-la-argentina-tuvo-deficit-durante-112/)
“Miracle”
Yes, not spending and providing for your people (your primary job as a government), while plunging it into a recession for the sake of provably ineffective austerity measures sure is a “miracle”.
It’s not really a miracle. He’s just implementing more orthodox minded economic policies after the previous government overspent without a strong economic foundation to support it all. The real miracle would be getting his omnibus law bill passed or keeping his party together in one piece.
Miracle indeed. Half-baked policies causing recession and hurting the common folk. Oh the wonders of austerity!
The vacuum cleaner manufacturer?
Milei may have used populism to get into office but whatever you may think about that, these policies were badly needed for Argentina’s economy.
SURPLUS in Argentina!!!?? Amazing! Who knew that revolutionary leaders backed by the people, don’t forget that so I’ll repeat it, BACKED BY THE PEOPLE, can bring about change!
“He has halted subsidies for fuel and transport, stopped discretionary transfers to provinces and is in the process of cutting tens of thousands of public service jobs. He has also blocked all public works and infrastructure projects that do not have multilateral funding.
Milei’s efforts have hit Argentines hard, with the price of bus tickets almost tripling and aid cut to thousands of soup kitchens. Around half of the population now lives in poverty (though Milei said in his speech Monday that the figure was 60 percent), with child poverty reaching concerning levels.”
Similar to companies making mass layoffs before financial reports to look like they’ve made more money than they have. How long can the government stop doing its job?
Milei does not count all the debts it has with importers and other private debts
