Argentina’s libertarian president, Javier Milei, is the lucky winner of $40 billion that Donald Trump managed to conjure from thin air. Less lucky are the Americans who rely on the government programs Trump has gutted to be able to “save” that sum.

    Hey. Hey.

    Y’all remember when he closed USAID for sending too much taxpayer money overseas?

    USAID’s budget was fucking $44 billion to work in 130 counties.

    Now T is sending that all to one guy. Literally one guy.

    In other words, our taxes now pay for health care for Argentinians, not Americans. Despite the fact that they are claiming the current shutdown is because they don’t want our taxes paying for non-Americans getting health care. Make it make sense.

      oh, this is not to pay for health care. it is to sustain the carry trade scam that both the american and argentinan goverment are involved in.
