      I don’t know the details, but Argentina has seen between 20% and 90% of inflation every year primarily because of runaway government spending. Personally, I can see myself voting for somebody who wants to reduce government spending for a change. Even if it will be painful, it would probably be better than the inflation.

          Everyday I see rich researchers driving Ferraris and chugging champagne. Why can’t they be more fiscally responsible like our dear oil barons?

        If we’re cutting the ministry of health, might as well cut all funding altogether

          Just go all the way and abolish the state. If statists hate states so much just let the anarchists run things already.
