Argentina's "Far-Right" (Libertarian) Javier Milei wins Primary.

This guy is great, he's like a combo of Ron Paul but with Trump's fiestyness. And he's got Austin Powers Mod haircut.

paid actor. media selling him like savior type, he isn’t. hollywood production type of deal, it’s all fake front.

Javier Milei speech at UN General Assembly on Oct 2, 2024:

We are today, with an organization [UN] that is powerless to provide solutions to real global conflicts, such as the aberrant Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has already cost the lives of more than 300,000 people, leaving a trail of more than one million wounded in the process.

An organization that, instead of confronting these conflicts, invests time and effort in imposing on poor countries what, how and what they should produce, with whom they should associate, what they should eat and what they should believe in, as the present Pact for the Future intends to dictate.

This long list of errors and contradictions has not been gratuitous, but has resulted in the loss of credibility of the United Nations in the eyes of the citizens of the free world and in the denaturalization of its functions.

and inflation has jumped


Just use silver by weight as currency. Then you won't have inflation.

The place is named Argentina after all.

AD says


Yeah, he's been President of Argentina since December 2023 and inflation has jumped


Looking at the graph where's the jump? It's heading down, no?



PS.
Inflation Rate in Argentina averaged 190.51 percent from 1944 until 2024,


Has been a very fucked country for a very long time. Not something you undo in a year.

And this is why when he does do an improvement to the situation, it's effect is much more profound than it would be in a not-so-fucked-up country.

This is why China, Poland and many other nations run into the Middle Income Trap that often reduces their previously spectacular growth rates. Law of Diminishing Returns as far as doing the same thing and expecting similar results. There is only so much infrastructure one can build to get the same boost in productivity. Only so many corrupt judges to remove, so many privatizations, so many banks to fix, yada-yada-yada.

Correct.

Silver, not Gold. Silver is almost impossible to manipulate; Gold can be hoarded or controlled much more easily due to the very limited supply. The US is stuffed with Silver.

To insure the actual metal is circulating and not just wildcat paper, we need the first $2000 of any 1099-based contract, employment wage or salary, etc. paid out in the metal itself.

That's well over 4 pounds in actual metal (assuming .95 pure) bi-monthly for somebody earning just $48k. Excellent!

I have a feeling once people feel the heft of REAL money, they'll be addicted to metal.

That's the problem.

Javier Milei announces Argentina's first budget surplus in 123 years

"The deficit was the root of all our evils -- without it, there's no debt, no emission, no inflation. Today, we have a sustained fiscal surplus, free of default, for the first time in 123 years. This historic achievement came from the greatest adjustment in history and reducing monetary emission to zero. A year ago, a degenerate printed 13% of GDP to win an election, fueling inflation. Today, monetary emission is a thing of the past."


Next step: use 0.9999 pure silver by weight as currency.

Not "dollars" or "pesos" or any other bullshit units that can be redefined to debase the currency and defraud the people yet again.

Weight alone.

Yeah. Hyperinflation helps with that. The national debt has already been hyperinflated away. You just have to stop printing money and stop spending deficits. Viola!

What's the difference?

Eliminating some taxes does not necessarily equate to reducing 'national taxation' levels.

In this case a bunch of special taxes that don't collect much revenue, cost too much to enforce relative to revenue collected, etc.

The bigger taxes (by revenue collected) like income and VAT aren't being dropped. Revenues from those might even increase because these other taxes probably reduce taxable economic activities with those, like the Export Tax.

"Under the proposed reforms, the number of national taxes will drop from 167 to fewer than 20, focusing primarily on value-added tax (VAT) and income tax. The plan also includes the elimination of export taxes, which Milei described as detrimental to Argentina's agricultural sector—a critical component of the country’s economy."
