B-Man Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Argentina’s new president arrives in Israel, reiterates pledge to move embassy to Jerusalem Times of Israel ^ | 2/6/24 | Lazar Berman Foreign Minister Israel Katz welcomes Argentinian President Javier Milei upon his arrival to Israel at Ben Gurion Airport. Milei, who assumed office in December, reiterates his pledge to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem. Katz thanks Milei, who made Israel his first bilateral overseas destination as president, for his support for Israel against Hamas and for recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. “You are a person of values who is committed only to the truth,” Katz tells Milei, speaking through a translator, “and it is no wonder that you chose to come to Israel right away to support us in the just struggle for the defense of the Jewish people against the murderers of Hamas.” Milei will visit the Western Wall and meet President Isaac Herzog later today, and is slated to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tomorrow. He brought Argentina’s Foreign Minister Diana Mondino and his personal Rabbi Shimon Axel Wahnish along with him on the three-day trip. Wahnish is expected to become Argentina’s ambassador to Israel. While Milei is not Jewish, he has expressed an interest in Judaism and has talked about potentially converting to the religion. Milei heads for Italy and the Vatican on Thursday, where he will meet with Pope Francis and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/argentinas-new-president-arrives-in-israel-reiterates-pledge-to-move-embassy-to-jerusalem/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 IT CAN BE DONE, YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT TO DO IT BADLY ENOUGH: Javier Milei Ended a DC-Sized Deficit in…Nine Weeks. “Argentina’s Javier Milei is racking up some solid wins, with the fiscal basket case seeing its first monthly budget surplus in 12 years. Apparently, it took Milei just nine and a half weeks to balance a budget that was projected at 5% of GDP under the previous government. In US terms, he turned a 1.2 trillion-dollar annual deficit into a 400 billion surplus. In 9 and a half weeks. How did he do it? Easy: he cut a host of central government agency budgets by 50% while slashing crony contracts and activist handouts. For perspective, if you cut the entirety of Washington’s budget by 50%, you’d save a fast 3 trillion dollars and start paying off the national debt. It turns out it can be done, and the world doesn’t collapse into chaos.” The cronies getting the contracts and the activists getting the contracts won’t be happy, but honestly, a world in which they are unhappy is likely a much better world. https://mises.org/wire/javier-milei-ended-dc-sized-deficit-innine-weeks?

The main risk with Milei’s economic shock therapy strategy comes from those deflationary death spirals that lingering debt troubles permeating the economic landscape will exacerbate. No doubt that this is the most interesting macroeconomic experiment in the world today. Milei has accomplished the easy part of chopping down the government budget, even though some of those government services shouldn’t have been deemed wasteful. He seems way more fixated on political dogma than practical problem-solving. Many of Argentina’s biggest problems with its government were reported to be basic cases of internal corruption. Hopefully Argentina leans into their agriculture industry and their renewable energy industry potential, coupled with the elimination of some unnecessary price controls and regulatory red tape. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a lesson there for any Republican bold enough to learn it.” https://pjmedia.com/vodkapundit/2024/05/09/milei-is-absolutely-killing-it-in-argentina-n4928888 Milei is already proving the Left-wing economic establishment wrong With inflation falling, interest rates coming down, and the peso on fire in one market, Milei is already proving the global Left-wing economic establishment – addicted to bigger government and endless deficits – wrong. Indeed, it may provide a template for other countries to escape from zero growth. First, what’s changed in the country: inflation has fallen to 11pc and Milei predicts it will fall further. While a monthly figure (this is Argentina after all), price rises may be coming back under control after soaring above 300pc annually. Last week, Milei announced that the country had recorded its first quarterly budget surplus since 2008, a modest 0.2pc of GDP, but still an astonishing achievement in such a short space of time, especially for a country that has run deficits for 113 of the last 123 years. Then, earlier this week, the central bank, which Milei has not yet gotten around to abolishing as he pledged, cut interest rates for the third time in three weeks. While they are still at an eye-watering 50pc, that will start to feed through into the economy very soon. Investors have started to notice. According to Bloomberg data, in the blue-chip swap market the peso was the best-performing currency in the world in the first quarter of this year, and the bond markets are rallying as well. It may also get better over the months ahead. With stabilising prices, and a rising currency, investment should start flowing again into a country rich in natural resources and hyper-competitive on wages costs. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/milei-already-proving-left-wing-130000729.html 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
