The problem is that you need competence in government to get people to accept it as a solution. If everyone in government is an idiot, you aren't going to get people to trust in government solutions as an answer.
It's always the same problem: if there are no controls everything goes bad. Doesn't matter if it's something public, private or in-between.
The answer is putting controls so the very moment it starts to go bad it can be corrected.
That is a super fascist rehtoric. And in the case of Argentina highly supportive of corruption.
Control must come from justice, not from political expending.
And who said "from political expending"? I say controls. Like internal affairs is to the police. I think we can all agree every politician has to be accountable for his/her decisions, don't we?
