I put it in google and this what Gemini AI spits out. Sounds kinda like it, I suppose!
Milei's economic achievements
Fiscal surplus: For the first time since 2009, Argentina achieved a budget surplus for the full year 2024, a major political achievement given the country's long history of deficits.
Crushed inflation: The government's drastic spending cuts helped bring staggering monthly inflation down from a peak of around 25% in December 2023 to between 2% and 3% in early 2025. This has been a key factor in slowing the annual inflation rate, which had neared 300%.
Shrunk the public sector: Milei's government followed through on its promises to slash public spending by firing tens of thousands of government workers and reducing the number of ministries from 19 to 9. The policy has also significantly reduced transfers to provinces.
The painful consequences of "shock therapy"
Deep recession: The austerity measures have caused a sharp economic contraction. Consumer spending fell by 20% in the past year, and the International Monetary Fund projected a 3.5% contraction for 2024.
Soaring poverty: Poverty rates surged to a two-decade high of 52.9% in early 2024 following the shock measures. Though official statistics show it falling to 31.6% by mid-2025, independent researchers warn the methodology may not fully capture the pain from subsidy cuts.
Hardship for the working class and seniors: The elimination of energy and transportation subsidies has caused bills to balloon for ordinary Argentines. The government's fiscal savings came in large part from freezing the real value of pensions, leaving many retirees struggling.
Defunded public services: Milei's cuts have severely impacted public infrastructure projects, education, and scientific research. Universities have struggled to pay bills, and construction workers have been laid off in large numbers.
