The model of the big state is the prison

president Javier Miley Filed this Monday on Milken Institute Forum Which was held in Los Angeles, United States. In his speech, the president strongly criticized socialism and its policies, highlighted the “superiority” of capitalism, established the businessman’s character as a “social benefactor” and highlighted the economic policies promoted by his government.

After strongly criticizing socialism and warning against it “The West is in danger because its leaders have moved away from the ideas of freedom.”Miley focused on the direction taken by his government and considered that they were promoting “the fastest and largest amendment in human history, without losing any support along the way.”

“This is because society has realized that it is worth the effort required to change course. The ‘big state’ model is a prison, and Argentine society has understood that. That’s why he supports the law we’re promoting in Congress, which is the most important government, tax, fiscal, and regulatory reform project in the last 150 years.He expressed.

How can a political force with the largest parliamentary minority in democratic history, in the context of overall economic difficulties, be able to promote the most ambitious reform in living memory and do so with popular support? The libertarian economist added: “Because Argentine society needs a profound and urgent change in course to embrace the ideas of freedom again.”

Immediately afterwards, the President confirmed that his government was keeping its promise to end deficits, monetary issuance, and inflation. “The establishment did not want to give us credit and a lot was said. It was said that adjusting more than one point of GDP was impossible. It was said that reaching zero deficit in the first year was impossible. It was said in what he described as ‘A low interest rate policy will not help “In reducing inflation, we defied these expectations and achieved our goals.” “An achievement of global historic proportions.”

Later in his speech he noted that his government’s goal was to return every peso saved by the state to Argentines by “first eliminating inflation and then reducing taxes.” “Our goal is to dismantle the regulatory tangle that Argentina has become, liberalize economic activity and unleash its productive power.” He said.

In this sense, it is highlighted stat and dnu Driven by the executive branch. “We issued an executive order in which we repealed more than 350 laws. For this reason, we are promoting a law containing reforms at the levels of public finance, labor, pensions and taxation, including an unprecedented system of encouragement for large investments. In total, between and in both instruments we will have introduced Nearly 700 structural reforms in the first five months of the government, a reform program 7 times larger than the state reform promoted by the President. Carlos Menem “In the early 1990s, it was the last great liberal project in Argentina.”

“We are making the most ambitious reform program of the last 150 years a reality. Because the only way to lift 60% of Argentines out of poverty is through economic growth, and there is no economic growth except with freedom. “There is no other way,” he said.

Miley developed his vision of the function of the state

In another paragraph of his speech, Miley asserted that the sole mission of his government was to “protect the life, liberty and property of Argentines,” so that people could “be the architects of their own destiny.” On the other hand, he stated that the mission of the state “Not putting invented money in people’s pockets.”But ensuring macroeconomic and legal conditions so that the private sector can develop on its own.

“A state that protects the lives, freedom, and property of individuals, and a thriving private sector that takes risks and bets on the nation and generates wealth. We are laying the foundations. “The private sector takes care of the rest.”He expressed.
