Don’t cry for Argentina, because things are looking up in that socialism-suffering country. I need to find a new decoration for terrific counter-revolutionary stories like this one. It is
so good that you won’t find it reported anywhere in corporate media; they’ve blacked it out so we don’t get too encouraged or something. Ready?
The People’s Gazette ran a story yesterday headlined, “
Argentina's President Javier Milei reduces ministries from 18 to nine on first day in office. The sub-headline added, “President Milei immediately streamlined his government, consolidating federal ministries from 18 to nine on his first day in office.”
If there’s one thing that the former economist, “ultra right wing” politician, “Argentinian Trump,” and now
President Javier Milei can’t stand, it’s
marxists. And Argentinian marxists created hyper-inflationary conditions in Argentina (200% per year) basically wrecking the country’s economy. Then Argentinians elected a super-spicy, profane, almost over-the-top, just-short-of-a-caricature conservative who’s promised to surgically excise the left in that country using a chainsaw.
Literally. I’m not joking. He
literally showed supporters the chainsaw he plans to use.
So yesterday, as his first official act after being sworn in, Milei fulfilled one of his grandest campaign promises and chainsawed the size and expense of his country’s federal government. He told Argentinians that righting the economic ship would be painful for a while, but the government would share their pain.
In other words, Milei is pursuing a radical conservative scheme of deregulation and privatization. He will be opposed by every leftwing group in the world seeking to ensure it fails, so that Argentina won’t become some kind of example to the rest of the world.
To my knowledge, nothing quite like this has happened, maybe ever, certainly not since the Cold War. The closest I could find was Sweden’s consolidation of 22 ministries into 11 in 1991 (which was more consolidation for management efficiency than it was cutting anything). Obviously, government does not voluntarily reduce
itself. It always goes the other way. Even Greece under IMF-imposed austerity never reduced the size of its government as much as it appears Milei just did.
I don’t know Milei, and I have no conflicts about or investments in the man. But I would like to point out to all the black-pillers who poo-poo’d Milei’s election and called him a WEF mole, maybe just wait a minute before declaring nothing good could come from conservative sea-change in Argentina. As I’ve said before, the unfolding events there say more about the mental state of
Argentina’s population — maybe even the world’s population — than it does about any particular candidate.
We should do the same thing here! I’d like to volunteer the full U.S. security state, the whole CDC, 90% of the FDA, the entire NIH, the Department of Energy, the EPA, and the Department of Education as initial cutting candidates here in America. That could be a good start. Start your chainsaws. Let’s goooooo!
Criticism tsunami hits woke colleges; Alex Jones back on Twitter; more mysterious military mishaps; Arizona sends spicy letter to President Peters; HIV vaccine fails; spicy president axes gov't; more.
