It is like the fat free diet, people have been brainwashed into thinking more government is good for you. One of my favorite quotes from Milton is "there is nothing more permanent than a temporary government program."

It's always notable to see libertarians (misanthropes) lie by omission. In this case, failing to point out that in Scandinavian countries and countries like mine, a properly functioning government can be beneficial to the individual and to the collective. For example, Norway's sovereign wealth fund, which currently stands at US$270,000 per Norwegian citizen. And if you look at the wellness/health and happiness index of the citizens of different countries, Scandinavian countries always come out on top.

Completely agree

I agree 100 percent with the methods and philosophies of Friedman and Milei. Nothing dictatorial about them. And I salute Javier Milei for his success.

Hello i am from Argentina. My country was socialist and was going to become the next Venezuela but luckily Milei won the presidency and he is going to change the future of my country.

"going to become the next Venezuela" First you need to be heavily sanctinioned by the US for this to happen. But yeah, bet you didn't even know it happened.

Awesome video, Alan! Real media like you is what we need, we need to see MSM go.

Absolutely agree with Milton Friedman. Followed his work since I was a teenager.

Yes I agree!!! Thank you!!!

I was JUST telling my husband this yesterday!

Great video! Government should be a referee not an active player

SPOT ON!!!!

Wonderful! We need this in the US!

Wow!! Thank you

Yes sir! Milton Friedman was a great man!

Some times tough love is hard to swallow but necessary. Change is never easy for everybody, but it has to be done to correct things for the betterment of what ever needs fixing right?

Great report, thank you for sharing 👍

Very good short message.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing some historical context

Absolutely.

Brilliant video: short and to the point!

Great video thank you!

Great job, Alan. I love this video. And yes, look forward when US has our own Milei president.

GREAT POINTS , AS HE SAID YOU HAVE TO LIMIT YOURSELF ON WHAT YOU HAVE INSTEAD OF WHAT YOU WISH , LIVE UNDER YOUR MEANS , BIG HUG 👍🇲🇽

Right way to go

Did y’all look at gold in Argentina in the last 3 months?!? Would love to hear some stories out of there

YES

100% AGREE!

Nice video 👍

Finally, a rational manager of public departments who can make sound fiscal decisions! We expect no less from an elected government administrator. Hooray for Milei and Argentina!

I live in Canada where the general population is complacent, and look where we are today.

Javier is my absolute idol! I finally feel like the New Age is actually possible! I jus hope he won't be relying on the dollar for too long, and uses gold backed currency.

To identify the goals of government, look no further than the preamble to the constitution: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...

It will be interesting to compare Argentina's policies with Venezuela's in a few years. Both cause pain, but one heals while the other destroys.

❤❤

I think Javier Milei is a brilliant, gutsy man! I imagine short-term there will be excruciating pain, but the alternative is endless poverty and enslavement. I don't think there is any other way to do what he is doing as time is running out.

Hi Alan. If I was to begin looking at Milton Friedman's books is there one that summarizes what you have presented here?

The market is nature. Nature doesn't have or need a commander.

Miltun was a real genius

The Government here in Great Britain needs massively reducing, the same as being done in Argentina, and what Milton Friedman said 😉

Been a Libertarian since I was 19. Ayn Rand, Milton Friedman, Thomas Sowell, Murray Rothbard...Anything Austrian School if followed, would unleash productivity and a high standard of living the earth has never seen before. But....Everyone seems to make decisions based on how the policy makes them "Feel".....

There is no other way than what Milei is doing. The alternative is that nothing will be done. You can discuss until the end of time.

I want to understand. Does each of a government departments are “giving” a ton of currency, thus why by cutting their departments will save in spending? Or am I missing something?

Mike, why isn't silver at an all time high and will it get there within your lifetime?

btw... fan of Friedman!

I'd slim the role of governments even further than Mr. Friedman's view. Government should have only two roles to play; defence of the nation, and punishment of criminals. Let free enterprise reign in all other facets of society.

I could easily balance the US budget by cutting out much of the fat/waste. Mostly, politicians, and, of course, about 95% of the agencies we now have. Milton Friedman spoke at length about HUD. People may know, Catherine Austin Fitts, one-time Assistant Secretary of HUD, once said that she had commented to a coworker while she was at HUD. She said, _"This agency operates like a criminal organization,"_ and her coworker replied, _"That's because that's what it is."_ Go watch the 'National Debt Clock' sometime. -We- They probably spend $1,000,000 about every 20-25 seconds, on average. *Their* -money- currency actually does grow on/in trees, as it's merely paper that says *I.O.U.*

More government is so dangerous if it does more, it must be a small jurisdiction, not the whole country. The more it does, the more local it needs to be so people can still take refuge at grandmas house without leaving the country. The good ideas and applications vs. the bad will show the market what works under local control and avoid nationwide errors.

PARA AFUERA CONO!

Yes we had a balanced budget when Andrew Jackson vetoed the Central Bank and then issued a surplus.

In light of the current economic trends indicating a potential downturn in the stock market and an impending recession, coupled with falling inflation rates, investors are advised to consider diversifying their portfolios. Exploring alternative assets such as gold and crypto trading would be a strategic move to hedge against the expected market volatility and inflationary pressures. This approach is crucial in navigating the complex financial landscape shaped by fluctuating Federal Reserve policies and the broader economic climate........Amidst this the insights of a knowledgeable guide like Francine Duguay can be crucial. Her expertise in navigating the nuances of cryptocurrency investments has been the key to understanding and making the most of these emerging financial trends...managed to grow a nest egg of around 4 b,tc to a decent 21 b,tc in the space of a few months

This is good news - my best to Argentina. 🍻 Too bad anyone who resembles a libertarian is barely allowed on a ballot in the U.S. - and the ones who get elected are outnumbered how many to one? 🤦‍♂️

President George Washington playbook. Continental Dollar was highly Inflationary. He had military enforce Article 1 Section 10 under threat of Treason. 6 mo later, food riots, massive unemployment ended replaced with economic boom.

Less government for sure!

Dont trust Javier or any politician...how can you?🤔

Argentina's poverty levels hit 57% of population, a 20-year high in January, study finds. BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (AP) - Poverty levels skyrocketed to 57.4% of Argentina's 46 million people in January, the highest rate in 20 years, according to a study by the Catholic University of Argentina.

You're getting it backwards: high poverty is the reason Milei won, not the consequences.

Deficits don’t fix themselves. Wasn’t it Elon musk who said we got rid of 60%of our employees and things ran better!

+1 for the bitcoin plushie - i see you! ;)

I really hope Argentina thrives after all economic problems they are facing, but you just show some twitter screenshots and not real numbers. Hard to believe that

I know Milei says and appears to be doing all the right things now, but look fully into his background. I put no trust in any politician.

The less government the better

a balanced budget is a very extreme position lol

Let’s bookmark this and come back in a year or two. My bet is that there will too many situations where his government can’t be an impartial referee and will move to the far-right.

I'm a voluntaryist/anarcho-capitalist like Milton Friedman's son, David Friedman. I say get rid of all of it, and make everything marketable. There's no reason to have a coercive monopoly on any part of the economy.

This is a good statement. I think the challenging response that you get to this is: How are we going to protect ourselves from an invasion from a place like China if we don’t have a department of defense? The assumption is that we won’t have a military at all because in a free society who would want to be in a private military? It is difficult to imagine an armed unorganized populace defending themselves against an organized military. On the other hand, if you are a peaceful nation providing goods to the world, why would anybody attack you.

You know they are out of Ideas when they try to cut their way to prosperity

The only department he kept was defense and you are applauding him? Are you guys totally nuts? Health, education are not to be kept? What the hell?

Javier Milei is untrustworthy but he's nevertheless better than the other politicians. 😂😂😂😂😅😅

He is one of the few pro-life politicians and very trustable. He opened our eyes to see the lies of the 'cast' of politicians who only look after themselves. I am from Argentina.

Vivek espouced a similar proposal. If Trump is elected i hope he will embrace dramatic Cabinet level cuts. If RFK jr is elected (with Justin Amash I hope) I hope he will make similar level cuts in the deep state. If Biden (or Michelle or Newsom or whoever they replace him with) is elected I hope my passport will still get me to Argentina. It would appear Galt's Gulch has moved south.

Small government, honest money, and get out of the business of controlling peoples lives.

Yep but where's inflation. Not changed nor will it change this year. I smell trouble on the streets followed by a coup !

Time will tell. Do you think all of those departments are necessary to live healthy lives? All the money to fund those departments is taken in some way from the people of that country. I think it’s possible that if that money stays with the people so they can spend it how they see fit, they will be better off.

Economics and politics must both deal with a basic fact of life: What everyone wants adds up to more than what is possible. Economics deals with this by rationing through prices. Politics deals with it by lying and promising more than it can possibly deliver.....

I'm not impressed with Milei, although time of course will tell. . This video conveniently doesn't mention what Milei is keeping (?!?). In theory it may work out. Equally if not more important though are imo two major dynamics that could flatten any gains Milei's anarco-capitalist changes may or may not bring. Don't want to rain on the parade here, but... The first is the role of corruption. Who are going to be the winners and losers when things get privatized, I wonder? Even not considering the slum-dwellers, which one might rationalize doing, what about the middle class, which provide social stability in any society? How well will the middle class do from the privatizations? I don't know, I'm asking. Secondly, Milei is really in bed with the neocons, meaning he's Zionist 100%, literally wrapped himself in the Israeli flag didn't he? wtf, really not a good look. For that matter Trump for me has lost all credibility not only with the Light Speed covid thing, completely illegal, but also him bowing at the Wailing Wall, his daughter "converting" to Judaism, whatever that means... America not quite first there Mr. Trump. Along with this neocon orientation in the LONG RUN may mean yet more pain for Argentina. Milei is throwing in with US unipolar i.e. imperial vision, now obviously entering a waning phase of increasingly obvious obsolescence. BRICS was going to take Argentina in, but Milei pulled out. Not sure for what good reason? Any more than Germany is blindly serving as a vassal state to the US, meaning the neocon cabbal in charge, at the cost of their own economy! Germany demilitarised and deinstrialized, who'da thunk it? And for what? So a few manufacturing go to the US, really? So the collective can charge up their industries and economies by making weapon, really??? For the global south, BRICS is the name of the game, obviously. For the Saudis, for China, for India - that's most of the people and more of the money (since 2020) on the planet isn't it? Just not more of the military bases.... So Milei, I don't know. He's a another puppet imo. God help Argentina, I doubt Milei's going to be much help.

Nothing but Bs in this channel

He only got here cause he was so inept he couldn't figure out how to spend it. This is like giving someone kudos for saving money because he couldn't figure out how to pay his rent and utilities. This video is extremely irresponsible given that the people involved didn't do their due dilligence which would have taken them a total of 5 minutes (for instance checking what his ministry of economics and finances has stated as their proposed budget, it's larger), and instead decided to just repeat what they read somewhere else. milei has raised taxes twice including income tax, he has blocked trade, he has done actions to raise interest rates, he has monopolized funding sources to the imf, etc. he is a libertarian in name only. This video should be taken down and an apology given. He is a clear trojan horse.
