Have you not been around long enough to know the right does it in the open, and the left does it behind closed doors? That's like 21st century politics 101, not even being cynical, it's simply how it is.

Somewhat telling who prefers the sneaky crooks, jus sayin'.

I guess I see the money value being less lol

If democrats don't hold their own, responsible, and if republicans don't hold their own responsible, who then can?

If salt loses it's flavor how can it be restored?

I really want the guys that I vote for, not to be the same as the people I vote against, I want them to be better.

Of course!

" RFK Jr is set to announce Tylenol causes autism.

And then he'll push the "cure": leucovorin (folinic acid).

Who sells folinic acid? Dr. Oz's supplement company, iHerb.

The same Dr. Oz who is now the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in Trump's administration.

Think about that: A government health official tied to the very supplement company that benefits from RFK Jr's bogus "cure."

This isn't public health.
It's corruption dressed up as wellness."

How does Cryler justify living in the US despite having so many complaints about it?

So the same amount of money cut from USAID was used to bail out Argentina?
What a joke.

except that the money going to Argentina is a loan. we earn interest on loans. It's not complicated.

and Bessent is also trying to sure up investments in Argentina through private investment, not tax payer investment. Do you see the difference?

I see a loan to a country that's been run by a right wing grifter for 2 years and has only gotten economically worse. That "loan" will never, ever get paid on. It's not complicated

Recent indicators show that Argentina's economy is stabilizing and showing signs of recovery under President Javier Milei's radical austerity and deregulation plan
. After a sharp recession in early 2024, the economy rebounded, but the improvement is uneven, and significant challenges remain.
Positive signs

    Declining inflation: After peaking near 300% in early 2024, annual inflation has fallen significantly, reaching a five-year low of 36.6% in July 2025 and 31.8% by September.
    Fiscal surplus: The government achieved its first budget surplus in over a decade by dramatically cutting public spending, including infrastructure projects and subsidies.
    Recession ends: After a sharp recession in the first half of 2024, the economy exited recession in the last quarter of 2024 and began a dynamic recovery.
    Economic growth: Fueled by deregulation, fiscal cuts, and an agricultural rebound, the economy posted a strong 7.6% year-over-year growth rate in the second quarter of 2025.
    Improved investor confidence: Stock market returns have surged, and government bonds have recovered value, reflecting renewed confidence in the country's economic direction.
    Increased foreign support: The IMF and the United States have backed Argentina's program with financial aid, including a $20 billion currency swap line from the U.S. in September 2025.

Ongoing challenges

    Uneven impact: The drastic austerity measures have been painful for many, particularly pensioners and public sector workers. The recovery is heavily concentrated in certain sectors like oil, mining, and agriculture, while domestic consumption and industrial output lag.
    Social costs: While overall poverty fell slightly from its peak in early 2024, many Argentines report that life is harder due to dwindling incomes and rising costs.
    Political and market instability: Recent political setbacks for President Milei's party in a Buenos Aires election have shaken investor confidence and triggered renewed volatility in the peso.
    Long-term issues: While short-term stabilization has occurred, long-term structural challenges remain, such as high labor market informality, weak infrastructure, and the need for comprehensive tax reform.

Future outlook
Despite the positive signs, the economy's future remains uncertain. Continued political stability and maintenance of the reform momentum are key to attracting investment and sustaining growth. The success of Milei's radical plan in addressing the country's deep-seated economic issues will determine if the recent recovery can translate into a long-term, sustainable improvement.

The "stabilizing force" is the US money. The guy cratered the peso, economy was down all last year.
It'll look like an upswing till his buddies run through the money
