Argentina Shows the Way

The dawn of a new day in Argentina!

Argentine President Javier Milei plans to fire 70,000 government workers in the coming months in one of the clearest signs yet of how the libertarian's chainsaw-style approach intends to slash the swollen state.

Beyond the job cuts, Milei boasted Tuesday at an event that he's frozen public works, cut off some funding to provincial governments and terminated more than 200,000 social welfare plans, which he labeled as corrupt. It's all part of his strategy to reach a fiscal balance at any cost this year.

"There's a lot of blender," Milei said in an hour long speech at the IEFA Latam Forum in Buenos Aires, referring to the erosion of wages and pensions by 276% annual inflation. "There's a lot more chainsaw."  --AOSHQ quoting DiscloseTV

Between the State government, public schools, counties, and cities, Wisconsin could lose 70,000 tax-takers and not miss them at all.

That's because every Governor in the last 40 years has added State employees.  Yes, Thompson and Walker added employees.

"Conservative"?  That's a laugh.
