It seems that in the days between the complicated budget approval in the House and the Senate session, someone began to think with a cool head and adjust the grades. After the forced postponement of labor reform treatment, Patricia could not afford any more headaches due to errors outside of her new area of ​​expertise. A vote was then taken on “the law of laws” as it came from the House of Commons, and the temptation to elect the members of the Auditor General corresponding to the Senate was averted.

You could tell the government, “You can watch whenever you want.” This increases the price of the former Security Minister’s shares, gaining in comparison to the Sorcerer’s Apprentices operating from the Monotribute. A bird in the hand is better than a hundred in the bush: a moderate triumph is better than no triumph at all. But the maximalist culture in which mileism originates has a hard time assimilating it. An example of this is the title of the book the president gave to his ministers: Defending the Indefensible. In the political sphere, this slogan sounds absurd, because one should never expose oneself to absurd arguments, no matter how revolutionary they may be. “There is no coming back from ridiculousness,” a phrase shared by both Sarmiento and Perón.

Political power is something you have, but you have to use it to appreciate it. If not, it’s like a discarded tool: it rusts, deteriorates, goes numb. From time to time it must be shown to friends and strangers, not only to remind them of the possession, but also to make them feel that it will be used mercilessly when necessary. The sum of the leader’s virtuosity is that others do what he/she wants by simply suggesting it, without having to use the weapon. Having lost almost all of the year’s parliamentary votes before December 10 and having clearly won the midterm elections, the ruling party is finding it difficult to use the power it has accumulated.

LLA could not remain without a budget for several reasons. First, a serious question about the ability to govern would arise in the second part of the mandate, particularly given the electoral support for 26-O. Second, if he had decided to veto it because it was not ideal, future negotiations with moderates over the coming agenda would have been complicated. Thirdly, with this law you now have an important argument to defuse latent conflicts over budget allocations to sensitive issues: “Congress decided this, complain to them.”

In this way, the government ends the year on a positive note, although this is a misleading picture since it has been on the defensive most of the time due to its own mistakes (Davos speech, $Libra, Garrahan, disabled people, universities, retirements, provincial funds, Andis, Espert and the signatures continue). The film’s plot resembled more of a horror story than a song of hope until the arrival of the 7th American Cavalry. We will now see how it deals with the labor issue, where the 43 days between the postponement and the new extraordinary dates in February (couldn’t you work part of the time in January?) lead to the activation of the national sport of lobbying. Is it true that there was an invisible agreement between CGT, rebellious businessmen and dialogue-minded governors to buy time?

Could this more politically pragmatic Mileism also mean a review of economic axioms, having accepted that they will now accumulate reserves, thereby displacing the larger goal of reducing inflation? It’s not clear. On the one hand, those who closely follow the central bank’s movements believe that there is intervention in the foreign exchange market so that the price of the dollar does not escape during a seasonally hot time of the year. Despite all this, the week ended with the highest level of gross reserves in the Javo era (which is relative, as real reserves remain mostly negative).

Toto made an important statement of economic independence: Stop turning to Wall Street. That is very commendable, but the question that the financial market is asking is whether we don’t want to leave because they won’t lend us money. This is why the old fox, “the Messi of Finance”, wants the FAL to be created – which is not a gun, but the Labor Assistance Fund – so that a fund can be created into which he can put government bonds that will be refinanced indefinitely. Turning to local savings banks in Argentina is a “state policy” with ideological transversality, since it will not be so easy for the kids on Bull Street in NYC to reset the due dates (even less so if the reserves are in the red). Fortunately for Santiago’s uncle, the purchase of green plants by private individuals fell significantly after the election (they saw that the Kuka risk existed!).

Since the vast majority are already mentally disconnected from anything other than parties and vacations, there is data that is overlooked but that absolutely needs to be calculated in this column. In October, Indec’s EMAE hit the brakes, meaning we went to vote in a recessionary month, which had no impact on the vote in favor of the government (didn’t people vote with their pockets? There’s no need to repeat platitudes without empirical evidence). This data and the assumptions from November and December forecast a complicated fourth quarter in which trade and industry already know that they experienced declines last month.

As we continue to travel abroad like never before in history as if we were a rich country, the labor market has chosen, at least for now, to adjust based on price and quality – meager wages and informality – rather than quantity (more unemployment like in the 90s). Beyond what constitutes future labor reform, this is a dynamic that expresses what society prefers in its priorities.

If labor reform is accepted by the Senate, sooner or later there will be a conflict between the queens on the Libertarian board. Too much prominence for Pato wouldn’t suit the sister.
