That said, Argentina under Milei does not seem to be seeing a whole lot of wealth.
Rates ofhomelessnessandjob losshave been seen to increase.
Many Argentinianshave been literally scavenging dumpsters to survive, Reuters reported in March.
Inflation in the countryis now slowing, but only after climbing tothe highest rate in the world.
Mission accomplished, I guess.
Ironically, Trumps economic plans seem designed to harm his voter basea situation his voters clearly do not understand.
For instance, Trump has claimed he wants toend taxes on Social Security.
Voters at a rally recentlycheered for this proposal, ostensibly because they dont like taxes.
However, Social Security only continues toexistthanks to taxes.
Conversely, Harris hasannounced plansto save the program by raising taxes on the top 1 percent of Americans.
It is unlikely that he would receive such approval.
That said, the very fact that such harmful policies are being floated is scary enough.
