(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 I have to admit, I wasn\u2019t paying attention to the election in Argentina over the weekend.\u00a0
\u00a0
It wasn\u2019t until conservative social media blew-up following the results yesterday that it hit my radar screen.
\u00a0
Turns out it was a pretty big f-ing deal, as Stephen Moore of the Committee to Unleash Prosperity reported this morning\u2026

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Don\u2019t cry for Argentina. Whoop it up. Strike up the band.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0In the biggest election sonic boom in a major country since Trump sent Hillary to the canvas, Javier Milei, a free-market and openly libertarian economist who entered politics three years ago, bested Sergio Massa, the economy minister in the Peronist government who has presided over the hyperinflation that sent the poverty rate in Argentina to more than 40%.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0As we mentioned in previous Hotlines, the Argentine Peso almost literally wasn\u2019t worth the paper it was written on. The WSJ labeled the economic climate in Argentina today as \u201cthe worst crisis in a generation.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0This is a BIG, BIG, deal. Finally, the Argentines have solidly rejected the Peronistas who first took power in 1946 and brought socialism, despair, and poverty to Buenos Aires.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0CTUP fellow John Fund reminds us that \u201ca century ago Argentina was one of the six wealthiest countries in the world. Now it ranks 66th, below Mexico and just above Russia.\u201d<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Meanwhile, Milei has promised to massively cut the bloated budget in Buenos Aires and has brought chainsaws to his rallies.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0One report has found that only 6.2 million Argentines work in the formal private sector and pay taxes to support the almost 20 million people who are public workers, pensioners, or recipients of public subsidies.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0The country has 46 million people and the only ones who have gotten rich are connected with the corruption of the government and a litany of self-serving politicians \u2013 many of whom have ended up in jail, including former president Christina Kirchner who was convicted on charges of stealing $1 billion. She makes Joe and Hunter Biden look like petty thieves.\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0If any of the mess that Argentina finds itself in sounds familiar, it should. The Argentines had the courage to support a radical course correction as they opted for far less government and far more freedom.<\/em>
\u00a0
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Could it happen here in the USA in 2024?<\/em>
