This will come to America

But, like Argentina, it's going to have to get bad enough were the elected don't have a choice but to cut
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

NEW: President of Argentina Javier Milei will be introducing a bill to Congress to jail any Central Bank official who orders the Central Bank to print money to cover Argentina's deficits.

Epic 🔥

Milei will be defining seigniorage as a criminal offense with the objective of not being "able to issue money to finance the Treasury."

"The bill will define seigniorage as a criminal offense and in case the Central Bank finances the treasury, either directly or indirectly, the president of the Central Bank, the board of directors, the president of the Nation and the officials who vote for it would end up in jail," Milei said during an interview.

"We have a strong commitment in the fiscal area, zero deficit is not negotiable."

"If you have zero deficit, you do not take on more debt. By not taking on more debt, the debt – product ratio becomes constant or decreasing and the counterpart of that is that you become more solvent."

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

When he was elected President of Argentina, the libertarian economist and TV personality Javier Milei became responsible for tackling a very serious problem: how to turn around an economy destroyed by the Peronist socialists who drove almost 60% of the citizens below the poverty line.  ...

Yesterday (3), another step in this direction was taken, as Argentina announced that it had cut 15,000 taxpayer-funded state jobs.  ...

Employees stormed some state companies in Buenos Aires and nearby cities, while the Association of State Workers, or ATE, brought a crowd of protesters to ministries. ...

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

WOW! I'm thinking this man is actually serious! If we could get our government to do one quarter of that what a difference it would make!


If we could get our government to do anything positive it would be nice. :shrug:

MAGAs,  take note

He ran on slashing government and won with 55% of the vote. He didn't shy away from cuts and reforms because he was afraid of upsetting the opposition

We are told here by some Trump supporters that we should avoid even talking about these issues for fear of enraging the Democrat Party.

If Trump isn't going to make any attempt at tackling this issue, then what good is he?

Exactly.  Big difference in Orange phony bluster, and the real thing.

The most impactful action that can be done to not only help repair the mess we are in but weaken the power of the left, MAGA tells us we can’t and shouldn’t do

  • Dems-greatest existential threat to USA republic!
Donald Trump is no Javier Milei.  Not even close.

Trump will not get elected in November because the election will be fixed.  But if he does, he will continue to spend just like Biden, since he does not possess a single conservative bone in his body.  He will be one of the biggest lame duck presidents in our history.  Neither party will work with him because he will continue with his juvenile behavior and insult every person that does not subscribe to his wants.  So zero cooperation will mean gridlock.  And that will be just fine with him.

But back to reality, the 2024 election will be fixed, again by both parties, and again the Supreme Court does not lift a finger, and Trump goes back to Florida empty handed again.

Four more years of Biden, or another clown like Gavin Newsom, and the USA is further taken apart like busting up a puzzle.  The policies of the bartender will continue to be pursued, and the USA becomes more and more of a joke, and a shadow of its former self.

The USA could use a Milei, but even if we had a Milei get elected, Congress would not work with him.  I listened to the Milei interview with Tucker Carlson, and I thought he was brilliant.  Just what Argentina needs.  Just what the USA needs.

If Trump were smart, and he isn't, and he got elected, he would be wise to impose a hiring freeze until two conditions are met, a 30% reduction in budget, and a 30% reduction in staffing in all federal agencies excluding the military.  No one need face termination, simply implement a hiring freeze, so that everyone retiring, leaving, dying, are not replaced.  Those positions are red shirted.  I dare say that number could be 40% or 50% and government services would not skip a beat. 

Also, the end of a number of agencies as they are known today.  End the FBI and fold it into Homeland.  End the Dept of Education, for the reality is that education is a state thing, working with locals on school boards.  There are like 450 agencies, and as a general rule, I say reduce the number to half, combining what can be logically combined.

Melei is exciting, and I hope he is highly successful.  If so, I think he may inspire someone like himself to rise up in the USA. That person is NOT Trump!  Trump is a phony.  He portends to be something he is not.  I am sorry, but since he kissed the posterior of the tech billionaire oligarchs in America, and reneged on his promise to end the H1-b Visa Program, he has zero credibility with me.  Everything he will do will be via EO, all undone by the next Biden dummy.   

A neighbor I have at my North Carolina home has multiple homes, one being in Argentina, which is his primary residence.  He was excited about Milei, but he was somewhat numbed by the high inflation, and not overly worried about it.  I thought that a bit odd.  He loves Argentina, and 2 out of 3 of his children live there, making it their only home.

Like the USA, Argentina has a large European heritage of mixed nationalities.  I can understand why he likes it so.

I am also excited about Milei and wish him the best in his efforts.  A true champion of western capitalism.

The dirty little secret is the reason why MAGAs are not interested in meaningful spending cuts it because they also want those government checks.

They’re not opposed to handouts. They just want to make sure those handouts go to them.

I don't think that's it... I think it is in large part that they are alright with big government and expect it... A city mentality expects certain services that they can't even imagine being without - Something close to the same thing politically. People who are used to government services just expect them - So overturning them doesn't even come to mind.

It is a conditioning to which actual Conservatives are immune. Insulated by principle.

Some how there is a magical wall of confusion somewhere between balancing the checkbook on the kitchen table and governmental spending - The suspension of disbelief, applied through media and politicking, I'd suppose.
