In December, the voters of Argentina replaced a leftist President. He had left the nation with a 211 percent inflation rate, and the government drowning in debt. His challenger, economist Javier Milei, vowed to drain the swamp and balance the budget.
Milei won the election. On his first day in office he fired some fifty percent of bureaucrats, slashing half of the bureaucratic agencies.
At the end of his first month in office, the government reported a positive balance for public-sector finances of US$589 million (S$800 million) at the official exchange rate. The figure includes payment of interest on the public debt.
Milei's projections of a national economic rebound within three months are on track.
“The decline of community in the modern world has as its inevitable religious consequence the creation of masses of helpless, bewildered individuals who are unable to find solace in Christianity regarded merely as creed.”

American diplomacy should continue to stand up for genuine democracy, freedom of expression, and unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history. America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
