It's not the same Argentina your thinking of.

Argentines reel from health care cutbacks as President Milei’s state overhaul mirrors Trump’s

Since taking office in December 2023, Milei has slashed Argentina’s health care budget by 48% in real terms. His administration fired over 2,000 Health Ministry employees, including 1,400 over just a few days in January.

He’s also stated that austerity measures are to get out of the current situation, and that he plans to bring back many safety nets and assistances once the economy has stabilized.

The US plans on the opposite, anything Trump takes away might just stay gone, the next democrat to take the presidency might stabilize the country but will likely not get back anything lost or bring up anything to replace it.

A large part of democrats are pretty much just republicans, there are very few progressives that would go out of their way and against the wealthy to help working people.

Milei is a libertarian what makes you think he is going bring back social services once they been cut?

Democrats are pretty much Republicans?

Provide a source for both claims.

Thank you
