Are you sure you're being honest with this review? Considering how the US had to bail him out? Without that, his policy WOULD have exploded in his face.
They said poor people got screwed and poverty is down in the same sentence. There's no way this argument is in good faith.
Well if all the poor old and disabled people died, then yes logically poverty would be down
This is a serious economic strategy labeling people as "useless eater", you know who called it that? Nazi Germany. They called it "Unnütze Esser"
(lit. "useless eaters" or "useless mouths") Similar to life unworthy of life, a designation for people who dont or refuse to work, people with serious medical problems or disabilities, and other Untermenschen not deemed to be useful to Germany. It was used in the 1938 children's book Der Giftpilz by Julius Streicher, and in Philip K. Dick's book The Man in the High Castle and its television adaptation.
This sounds like “rich people are ok” where their “Wall Street” is doing better but skip the rest. They talked about trade and foreign investment, not generally concerns of the common or poor person.
Yeah I mean they accused the meme of being biased while ignoring the fact that people are being forced to eat donkey meat. Definitely not someone who cares about others.
Poor people can be mass murdered and poverty will go down, you do realize?
He might have found a different source of money if not from Trump.
Source of external money is irrelevant.
When your country is incapable of handling its own finances and needs a bail-out, it's not a good fiscal policy.
What's dishonest about it? He did lower inflation and poverty but the way he did it, including help from US, is controversial. He did need help from Trump to do it but he is exactly the guy that could get help from Trump. What if a leftist leader secured help from Europe to save his reforms? Would that also mean their reforms were bad? I also think they already paid their debt to US which help their reputation and makes other investments possible.
You have two options:
The first one is "good, even if controversial". The second one is "horrible enough that will blow up without a bailout"
So, yes, if a leftist leader needed a massive bailout, their reforms would be considered bad.
