🚨🇦🇷 MILEI, ARGENTINA'S RUTHLESS DOCTOR: "MY TASK IS NOT TO LOOK LIKE THE GOOD GUY" Milei, fresh off declaring a zero-deficit - the first in 123 years - is now telling his critics to get in line. Milei says his "task is not to look like a good guy," but to do what's right, even if he's called "cruel." He took a blowtorch to Congress for a new spending bill, quoting Sun Tzu: "the coward ruler is able to set his own country on fire, as long as he reigns over its ashes." He's betting his political capital on the idea that economic stability is worth the pain. The country’s poverty rate jumped to over 50% in the first half of 2024, but with annual inflation down from 300%, he’s not backing down. Source: @JMilei, AP News, Global Finance Magazine
