Brief

Argentina closed its first sustained fiscal surplus in more than a decade, the post asserts, after measures including big spending cuts, elimination of entire ministries, and price liberalization. The author reports monthly inflation dropped to single digits without bailouts or accounting tricks and argues Javier Milei demonstrated that fiscal discipline—spending less than revenue—produces prosperity, a lesson for Spain and the U.S.

Why it matters

Argentina closed its first sustained fiscal surplus in more than a decade, according to the post dated 2026-06-28, a result the author credits to Milei's government.

Key details

  • The post says the surplus was achieved by cutting public spending, eliminating entire ministries, and liberalizing prices; monthly inflation fell to single digits, and there were 'no rescues' or 'accounting tricks.'
  • The author argues a state that spends less than it collects practices 'arithmetical' discipline that produces prosperity, and that lesson applies to Spain and the United States.

Argentina cerró su primer superávit fiscal sostenido en más de una década. Lo lograron haciendo lo que ningún gobierno argentino se animó en toda mi vida: dejar de gastar plata que no existe. Recortaron el gasto público, eliminaron ministerios enteros, liberaron precios, y la inflación mensual bajó de niveles que licuaban cualquier salario a un solo dígito. Sin rescates milagrosos ni trucos contables. Pura disciplina. La lección vale igual para España y para Estados Unidos. Un Estado que gasta menos de lo que recauda practica aritmética básica, y los países que respetan esa aritmética prosperan mientras los que la ignoran terminan fundiendo los ahorros de su propia gente. Milei demostró que se podía.
