The Senate vote suggests to me that most of them are fearful of change.

After all, as in the US Congress, they were not elected to be good stewards of the public purse; they were elected because their constituents felt they, more than other candidates, would provide ever greater access to the public purse.

If they don't deliver, they'll be replaced by the voters, an event worse than death for politicians

Scary as the Devil this roller coaster ride, isn't it. It was never going to be easy - not in Argentina nor in the US. I'm praying for all of us around the world who are struggling for Freedom. I myself am old and retired, so a lot of physical struggling is out of the picture for me - but if fervent well-wishing helps, I can do that. Best.

Less inflation and budget surplus. Amazing that it could happen so quickly. Yet Congress amazingly doesn't approve????

Please keep these reports coming. Just heard Hank Haney on another podcast stating that Argentina's inflation is worse than when Melei took office. We need the truth.

Joel, May the congress in Argentina vote in support of the President and the people of Argentina, and continue the great expierement . If they choose to vote against his policy,they put their skin on the line, which will open the door to consequences from the people. The world is watching.

Such a beautiful phrase/description "professional barnacles...", of the Argentine house/senate, the US congress and senate, as well as most political bodies that are well entrenched. If I ever become President will you become my speech writer??!!

When I first learned of Mr. Milieu’s victory in Argentina’s presidential election, the first thing I did was pray that God would bless Argentina and President Milieu; that God would guide and strengthen him in leading his nation out of its morass. When I read my morning Bible devotion today in the Book of Luke and read what Jesus proclaimed to the leaders in the synagogue regarding why He came to us, I saw a parallel with President Milieu’s quest. Shortly after Jesus made his proclamation, the leaders took him outside the town and intended to throw him off a cliff to his death. He somehow walked away unscathed. I will continue to offer up prayers for President Mileiu’s success.

”The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed;“

‭‭Luke‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬
