It’s even worse when you know that Caputo is the same guy who took 75 billion dollars of IMF debt in his previous term as minister, money that was (charitably speaking) used in diverse financial maneuvers to try and stabilize the economy and the value of the dollar… without success and leaving us with the debt while he (famously) bronzed himself at a Brazilian beach
Less charitably, he took the debt so his financial cronies could change all their pesos into dollars and take them out of the country at reasonable rates of exchange.
As for the logic behind “There is corruption in public works, so the solution is to eliminate public works”… words fail.
ETA: The Caputo family is infamous for making their money… in public works.
