The most patriotic thing Americans can do is send our tax money to libertarians in Argentina.

The most patriotic thing to do with our tax dollars is to bring down the unsustainable national debt. America First.

@6:06...US to give LOANS to Milei in Argentina up to $20bln, which is to be repaid with interest. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN "GIVING" VS. LOANING.

The $20 billion commitment operates through three mechanisms that are distinct from traditional foreign aid channels. The centerpiece of the bailout package is a Federal Reserve-style currency swap line between the U.S. Treasury and Argentina’s Central Bank, allowing Argentina to exchange pesos for dollars to defend its slumping currency—a tool typically reserved for major allies during systemic crises.

The Treasury will also directly purchase Argentine government bonds in both secondary and primary markets. This intervention aims to stabilize bond prices after markets panicked following a September 7 provincial election loss by Milei’s party, when the peso dropped and Argentina’s Central Bank burned through $1.1 billion propping up the currency.

The U.S. assistance comes five months after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approved a financial assistance program worth $20 billion to address the country’s economic imbalances. Combined with the American support, the total reaches $40 billion. Argentina’s GDP is approximately $630 billion, making this combined assistance roughly 6 percent of the country’s entire economy.
