US Treasury Sinks Cash into Pesos to Fund 'Libertarian' Austerity
When the US Treasury, via Wall Street behemoth JPMorgan Chase, buys up foreign currency to prop up a 'libertarian' leader before a 'pivotal election,' it's not capitalism; it's interventionism with extra steps. Senator Elizabeth Warren confirmed this move, designed to bolster a pro-US, austerity-pushing government in Argentina. (Imagine the outrage if other nations did this to influence a US
election.) This isn't about fostering true fiscal responsibility; it's about backing a preferred economic ideology, even if it means US taxpayer funds indirectly support a foreign politician's election campaign. The 'invisible hand' of the market seems to require a quite visible, American-dollar-stuffed glove to guide it, particularly when the 'market' might otherwise vote out a 'libertarian'
who'd dismantle crucial public services.
