Argentina, the blueprint for a future America

Message from me:

Argentina is a failed state. The more it fails, the more it's politicians want to exert control over the people.

It is a classic case of government being the problem, not the solution.

But Ronald Reagan is so yesterday. He's just another dead white guy.

How quickly people forget.

Guest Post: Cristina Fernandez Wants You To Have An Erection

This one is too ridiculous to not pass along. I've long written that desperate governments try to 'control' everything as they slide into insolvency. They impose capital controls, exchange controls, wage and price controls, gun controls, border controls, and more. But the government of Argentina has really taken this to another level. Their latest stunt? Manufacturing Viagra at a state-owned pharmaceuticals company... and giving it out for free to the people.  It's the ultimate reminder of how absurd government control can be when things get really desperate. They reach a certain point where, after capital controls, gun controls, wage and price controls, etc., the only controls left to implement are people controls.
