Slicing the state to zero and instating hard right social policies is not going to fix anything. Argentina needs a steady hand at the wheel, not this nut job.

Slicing the state to zero would definitely decrease inflation, but at tremendous cost to citizen wellbeing. It is not like print so much money that groceries cost more in the evening than they did in the morning is working out well for the people either.

Slicing the state to zero as part of the shock therapy economics did not stop inflation nor it helped recesdion in Eastern European ex-Soviet countries in 1990s.

Who said slicing the state to zero? Why do you have to go to the extremes? Yes, Milei said he'll cut down on the number of ministries (currently 18) to 8. So how is that zero?
