“If Javier Milei can pull Argentina out of the red, we can do it here.”
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. I respect President Milei’s efforts so far, but publishing, or even passing, a single balanced budget is only one step in the long, long road of committing a country to fiscal discipline. Government fiscal discipline must be based on personal fiscal discipline.
True, we must forgo sending profligate spenders to public office AND teach frugality to our children.
I blame, in large part, credit cards which allows one to temporarily live beyond one's means - a great detriment in personal or public life.
Hard times teach frugality so buckle up!
