See what happens when this much of the "economy" is curtailed sharply. Hope he can get it done. We need a lot of the same. This gooberment is bloated.

How long will it be before someone tries to kill him? 5,4,3,...

If Trump gets elected, I hope he tries some of the same things.

I’m sure the CIA is already plotting it right now.

Argentina is a good case study on why democracies fail. People always vote for their own demise.

He is certainly attacking the local Swamp.

Her is how it gets interesting. He announces there will be no IMF payments, ever. He has oil and gas. He has farmland.

Food can grow and be transported.

This is a Drain the Swamp guy. Admirable.

Impressive!
It makes a lot of sense!
I hope he succeeds.

I would think that 9 ministries is probably too much anyway.

The original cabinet of Pres Washington had four - Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Treasury and Attorney General.
This, I summon, should be enough even now!
But, good start Javier!

Finally a govt willing to live as they ask (demand) that we should live. “Buy a chicken, grow a garden, ride a bicycle...”
Get ready for the bitching and moaning from the communists. “Austerity” is a four-letter word to the Left.
Bring on the chaos!

America has MUCH farther to fall before this sort of stuff would happen. Argentina is insolvent. The people voted in Milei to fix problems, and he’s doing what he promised. A rare sort of politician.

After abolishing 12 of 21 government ministries on his first day in office ...

Which is why the DS will never lose another national election.

Not to mention the lawfare which will erupt in the courts.

Musk was able to fire 80% of Twitter staff and still keep running. Those fired seemed mainly involved in censorship.

I hope this guy has a good personal security detail. Maybe Musk can loan him some of his.

We may not have missed an interest payment but we can’t pay our debts back. What is that? We are one of those who files 7 to get to 11. If ever there was a too big to fail this is it. We may have Much further to fall but we are falling and it isn’t stopping.

“Union leaders...we will have to be much more creative and much more militant...”

You see, when the left loses an election they resort to militancy. They don’t just sit on their hands (like the Republican party in the USA) and let the conservative party govern. The left is ALWAYS on the attack, even when they lose badly.

In 13 months, a huge correction is coming to America. Pain and suffering is on the agenda for the likes of Lizard Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Banjo Boy and his adulterous wife, etc. Glorious revenge and retribution will be given to those treacherous bastards. /spit

This is why - when the radical Left takes control - a nation must have a politician who is willing to match their ferocity in order to establish some semblance of order and decency.

He needs to pursue growth — via tax and regulatory incentives — as well as austerity. Ronald Reagan did this successfully, giving us growth to counteract the pain from the high interest rates need to stop inflation.

Trump loves spending and he loves aggrandizement. If Joe gets to spend X trillion, Trump thinks he get to spend 5X trillion.

Argentina may well, if this fails, go for a fascist like Evita and Juan Peron. They may have no choice. That or a Communist like China.
