Javier Milei Famous Quotes And Sayings

Si la inflación es siempre y en todo lugar un fenómeno monetario que se genera por un exceso de oferta sobre la demanda de dinero, entonces tenés un problema con la emisión. Durante los dos primeros años emitió 11 puntos del PBI, todo lo que emitió en los primeros años lo está viendo ahora, también hay un problema con la emisión presente. Massa hizo unos recortes y levantó la tasa de interés y esterilizó un montón de pesos y como consecuencia de ello no tuvo que emitir, pero ahora lo hace para darles la paparruchada del dólar soja. — Javier Milei

Si te acordás, cuando arrancó el año el ministro de Economía de aquel momento Martín Guzmán dijo que se esperaba un 33% de inflación. En ese entonces yo dije que era un dibujo, que ese presupuesto era una ofensa y una agresión a cualquiera que supiera de teoría económica. Bueno, ahora están haciendo la actualización con el presupuesto nuevo con 95%. De hecho, la inflación cuando tomás los ocho primeros y lo anualizas viene viajando a 95% y si tomás la punta viene viajando al 125%. Todos los que decían ‘loquito, loquito’, y, ¿qué pasó? Se parece a lo que yo dije. — Javier Milei

So, a strong commitment from all wealth creators is needed to fight against socialism and statism, and understand that if this is not done, socialists will always keep trying. Because what's the point? As they try to live off others without working, they are tireless in seeking this because their life's motto is to live off others. So they never give up on this mechanism of appropriating wealth and income from others. So this battle has to be waged continuously; you can't rest because when you rest, socialism advances. — Javier Milei

We are at the end of the model of the caste based on that atrocity of where there is a need, there is a right but they’re forgetting that somebody has to pay for that right.

Si tenés gobiernos populistas que lo único que proponen es la redistribución del ingreso, el gasto público que castigan al ahorro, te va a ir mal. Argentina hace 100 años que hace esto, entró al siglo XX siendo el país más rico del mundo y ahora somos un desastre. — Javier Milei

No quieren que la gente sea libre. — Javier Milei

You have to be very careful, cut off their funding, and make them compete on equal terms. At the same time, you have to make businesspeople aware that it's necessary.
