President Javier Milei, who has been in office for just over a month, is looking to employ tough austerity measures to bring down inflation, reduce a deep fiscal deficit and rebuild government coffers.
scrap necessary government functions (like environmental oversight) for short term savings
remove restrictions on foreign investment
It’s a mixed bag with Milei, some ideas are reasonable, some are hard to imagine how they’ll be feasible, some are dumb… And a few are attributed to his dead dog.
Those are pretty sane ideas but…
charge protesters for their own arrest
convert the country to using USD
scrap necessary government functions (like environmental oversight) for short term savings
remove restrictions on foreign investment

Can you elaborate on the dead dog? Is this a metaphor or do you mean it literally?
