@cdarwin@c.imThe $40 billion Trump is sending Argentina is roughly on par with the $41.8 billion it owes the International Monetary Fund
— by far the largest debt on the organization’s books,
half of which was taken out under Milei earlier this year.
There is no benefit to working Americans from this,
and the president isn’t even pretending there is.
@buercher@tooting.chOne month before elections in Argentina, USA is giving 20 billion USD to Milei to avoid Argentina bankruptcy and election loss. https://english.elpais.com/economy-and-business/2025-09-24/us-negotiates-20-billion-bailout-and-debt-purchase-with-argentina.html
@cdarwin@c.imMAGA holds its most loyal voters in contempt.
And the reality of this contempt is starting to show through
— not, at least so far, via the One Big Beautiful Bill’s savage cuts to health care,
which will be especially devastating to rural areas,
but via the Trump administration’s bizarre fixation on aiding President Javier Milei of Argentina.
The truth is that rural America is even more dependent than urban America on the programs now on the chopping block.
