Milei announces Argentina's first budget surplus in 16 years
"If the state does not spend more than it collects and does not issue (money), there is no inflation. This is not magic," the self-described "anarcho-capitalist" said
Thousands of public servants have lost their jobs.
"Don't expect a way out through public spending," Milei warned on Monday.

Maybe he turns out to be a charlatan in the end, but balancing a budget is by itself a huge step in the right direction.

@Zettour @sj_zero I can see running a deficit to defend the homeland if it has been directly attacked, and we officially declare war. Other than that, the idea of representative democracy falls apart if representatives of one generation decide to borrow money for Ukraine (or whatever) that has to be funded by a future generation whose representatives didn't get any say in the matter.
