To be blunt, I don’t care much what Argentina does governmentally.

I care what the USA does.

I hope some posse of USA politicians would run with Argentina’s lead and start cutting government bureaucrats here. And start cutting bureaucracies, which would allow for having fewer bureaucrats. And start cutting laws and regulations, which would allow for having fewer bureaucracies.

And maybe states would then follow that lead.

And cities/counties/municipalities would follow the states’ leads.
