Hopes for Javier Milei's 'success' as Argentina's President following budget surplus
Webster University assistant professor Ralph Schoellhammer says there’s a “certain delicious irony” after Argentina’s far-right President Javier Milei oversaw the nation’s first monthly budget surplus in over a decade.
“He goes directly to the people,” Mr Schoellhammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
“And we see even the demonstrations against him, like the public unions - like there are demonstrations, but they are very careful.
“So his approval ratings - his popularity with the people is very high.
“If he can keep that up, if he can continue to communicate to the people that these reforms are going to be hard but ultimately going to pay off, he might really be successful.”

He is good for Argentina for the moment, it needs a radical person to get things done.

I'm not that confident corporations should have that responsibility, especially with how the last few years have gone. We just need politicians who want the best for Australia and not for NGO's or other foreign bodies.

MILEI is a great Miracle after 80 yrs of left disaster politics..yes he is à Great Economist and profund knoledge of Authors, books and Sincérité.. he is not there for power as he said, he want to give back Liberty to each Argetinian.

Seems to be a precedent that's being set here. When one has a leader that sets good examples, trimming the fat as it were, cutting out what overbloats the budget thus rebating the taxpayer in the process. And not to mention being proud for once to rally behind said leader with enthusiasm to get back to work because of national pride coupled with a leader that compliments is the blueprint of a successful country and citizens. Why isn't this replicated everywhere. Because with good productive leaders you get a flourishing country, and public morale at all time highs. This is how one does it.
It’s a first step on a long journey! We hope the people of Argentine and their president will succeed. 🇦🇷❤️
Wishing Milei the best of luck. Argentina was once prosperous and it has so much potential but socialism has ruined the country. Argentina needs to be great again.
Rita, invite him on your show, tell him you want to present him a bottle of champagne, for his good work. He has a sense of humor, and you will hit it off...

Javier Milei seems to be part of a new breed of politicians and entrepreneurs who are breaking the mold in a big way. People of massive self confidence and personal integrity who will tell you the plain hard truths. We will see how tough Milei is because thats the test, after you told the hard truth can you do the hard truth.

We need this in Australia we can't continue to live on debt. The only control the government has is increasing tax or debt. And we're maxed out on both. The only solution minimise government or a massive depression. The 2 party system is so corrupt when you vote lib or lab you are voting for the same backers. With their hands in the pockets of both sides.
I'm from Brazil and I don't trust the voting proces here. The right wing tried to make it clearer (so that we could be sure our vote went to the one we voted for) and it was kind of vetoed. I play by the rules, but I do think that the ones in power now are playing with the rules, which would make this right and left swinging here not a natural thing, at least for a few years back.
"If you fall asleep in Argentina on Monday and wake up on Friday, everything has changed. But if you fall asleep on Monday and you wake up 20 years later, all will be the same." As the causes of Argentine economic problems are cultural and political no economic policy will solve them. (Know the country for 40 years now)

Thank you very much Australians, we love you ❤

For America, it's more than the POTUS position. Trump will have enough resistance from within the non elected bureaucracy to achieve reform. He needs the entire Congress to help ferret out those elements within the bureaucracy that consider fellow Americans more of a threat than the forces outside of America. They need to vote in conservative voices from the halls of the Senate and House, to their local city councils and boards of education. That's the only way they can show their elites who actually controls the reigns of power.

The more government administrators and government workers you have the more money is siphoned off. More regulation require more money from the citizen that wants to accomplish anything. San Francisco a contractor offer to build a public toilet for the homeless. He would pay for everything. The government would require over a million dollars in fees.
