Poverty has no limit in Argentina

[CecilM]

I don't know if many people are doing well when 52% of the population is poor. It's sad to see that many have had to change their habits just to get to work, and they can't even take the bus anymore due to the significant increase in public transportation costs.

I agree that some adjustments are necessary in certain sectors, but removing subsidies will definitely impact the working class’s finances. Additionally, starting Monday, everyone who travels by train will face a 40% increase in fares for the Metropolitan Area of Buenos Aires (AMBA). This move is likely to hit those who are already struggling the hardest, further straining their budgets.

You don't have to be very smart to see that he acts as if people are just numbers. That’s why he lacks empathy, even for those who voted for him, let alone the retirees. And cutting education funding?? I think he needs to reorganize his priorities. Why benefit the wealthy with tax cuts? Some of Milei’s actions just don’t make sense.

A report released by the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) revealed that the cuts applied by the Government in the university system, which amount to a fall of 0.14% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) , are equivalent to the tax benefits obtained by the wealthiest sectors of the country in the Personal Property Tax , after the approval of the Ley Bases and the Fiscal Package promoted by President Javier Milei .

Según la UBA, el ajuste del Gobierno a las universidades es igual a los beneficios impositivos para el sector más rico

Un análisis de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas estimó que el ahorro en la educación superior representa el mismo esfuerzo fiscal que la baja del impuesto a Bienes Personales o el régimen industrial de Tierra del Fuego

Milei promises to veto the University spending increase.

Haha, that's how politics works: I scratch your back, you scratch mine, and everyone’s happy. Conviction doesn’t exist… everything’s negotiable.

Milei rewards them, and the UCR punishes them. They were obviously suspended from the party, those who once supported pension reform but now backed the veto.

Fortunately many senior citizens know they have to do their part to help turn around the country. Approval ratings are still quite high even amongst elderly. Good to see videos like this woman.

That's what the president said, we're heading toward the economic model of Germany, France, or Italy.

Fortunately, many people, including some retirees, support Milei's measures. Some can still see beyond the cuts and understand that the mess was left by previous governments.

I love how the reporters from C5N can’t find anyone to take down Milei, haha. They won’t let them keep talking after a guy says that cutting subsidies is fine, even though he’s a hardworking person with three jobs who hasn’t gone on vacation in six years. In other words, regular, hardworking people who understand where we’re heading with Milei.

[CecilM]

For every retiree who supports Milei, there are 50 who don’t, all for a few pesos that really don’t make a difference. Meanwhile, some politicians have 15 advisors, which is obviously paid for by the Argentine people. It’s a shame.

 

[CecilM]

And it’s getting worse, the unemployment rate keeps rising... and they say we have to hold on? How do you explain that to a parent with three kids who just lost their job? It’s easy to talk about and find an economic explanation, but we’re talking about real people who have to face the harsh reality with empty pockets.

Not all news is bad! There’s also some good news: oil exports brought in $1.227 billion more than last year. That's a solid boost!

Sometimes the news focuses on the negative and doesn't mention the good economic measures being taken, like oil exports, the reduction of the 'Impuesto País,' and the increase in the fiscal surplus.

Actually his popularity is falling which is expected with these austerity measures.

It’s no surprise people have lost faith in him, his support is shrinking fast. "Less than 30% of Argentinians have hope in Milei’s government." The country is in ruins, and meanwhile, he’s off chasing investments. It's hard to see how he plans to turn things around when everything’s falling apart back home.

As you said, Milei seems more focused on his trips to attract investors than on addressing local issues. In fact, he’s taken quite a few trips since taking office. Some people still have faith in him, but they’re in the minority.

 

[Ron]

In her 4 years in office, Cristina Kirchner made 194 trips to Santa Cruz at the expense of the State. What’s the justification for this cost, which we, the taxpayers, are footing? If that’s not an abuse of power, then tell me what is. On the other hand, all of Milei’s trips have been business-related, and yes, it may sound repetitive, but they’re to attract investments, which is crucial for improving Argentina’s economic outlook.

They use humble people for interviews, trying to get them to speak badly about Milei, but it backfires, haha. These Kirchnerist channels are so predictable and obvious.

He has to chase investments because that is what is going to help turn things around for Argentina. There has already been billions of investments announced with the RIGI law. Unfortunately the benefits of that won't be felt for some time.

Frustration is normal if things don't turn around soon. And it is common in Argentina to blame the sitting President in office.
