OPINION
The Chainsaw President!

Finally, a real libertarian is president.
That's in Argentina, where last year, Javier Milei surprised pundits by winning the election by a landslide. Now that he's had a chance to govern, my new video covers the results and explains why Milei is now even more popular.
Argentina was once one of the richest countries in the world. Then, years of big government brought high inflation and poverty. By last year, Argentina was one of the poorest and least free countries in the world.
Then Milei, an economist, ran for office, saying things like, "The state is not the solution. The state is the problem!"
The media called him "radical" and "far-right."
Why? Milei is OK with sex work and gay marriage (he says marriage should be a private contract -- none of the government's business). He even says people should have the right to choose their own gender. That isn't "far-right."
Milei's a libertarian. He mainly wants government to do less.
"Argentina had been infected with socialism for far too long ... " he said at this year's World Economic Forum. "With us, it would once again embrace the ideas of freedom -- a model that we summarize as the defense of life, liberty and private property."
He'd campaigned holding a chainsaw to illustrate how much government needed to be cut. I think he stole that idea from my videos!
He points out that government has no money of its own, so whatever it spends, it takes from you.
To the surprise of "experts," Milei won. Actually, he won by a landslide.
Then pundits declared that he would fail.
A BBC report pointed out that Milei's "predecessors have tried and failed to turn the economy around." The reporter confidently concluded, "Milei will be no exception."
