Javier Milei criticized the journalists who questioned his response to the claim that people run out of money on the 20th of the month. He said they had repeated a phrase he considered nonsensical and accused them of resorting to fallacies, such as appealing to what pollsters say or responding with personal mockery. Milei asked them to explain how a person could go ten days without eating or drinking. Regarding the argument about the use of credit cards, he suggested that one should consider what happens the following month and said that would help understand the intertemporal logic of credit. He also claimed that he had refuted the arguments about delinquency several times. He maintained that it was necessary to understand the changes in credit, low amount loans with high rates, and the dynamics following a political shock that halted credit. Additionally, he disqualified the intellectual capacity of the journalists and recommended they listen to his explanations until they understood them. #Economía #Finanzas #Periodismo (translated)

David Alandete reported that Democratic senators Jeanne Shaheen, Jack Reed, Martin Heinrich, and Elizabeth Warren warned in a letter dated September 30 to Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and Chris Wright that the oil agreement with Betancourt may lack a clear legal basis for enforcing some of its provisions. The four lawmakers, the leading Democrats on the Foreign Relations, Armed Services, Energy, and Banking committees, pointed out that the law that created the Department of Defense's Strategic Capital Office allows for the granting and guaranteeing of loans but does not expressly authorize the purchase of stakes in private oil companies. According to the public documentation they cited, the agreement provides for a 35% U.S. equity stake in the parent company of NABEP. The senators also questioned what authority would allow the State Department to commit to long-term oil purchases. They requested that the Government identify the laws upon which both operations would be based, explain the source of the funds, and deliver the complete text of the agreement before its final approval. In addition, they requested information regarding the prior investigation of Betancourt and any potential economic benefits for Trump, his family, donors, or current or former officials of his Administration. Alandete noted that the lawmakers threatened to undertake legislative and legal actions and that the legal structure was one of the obstacles to launching the project. #Política #Energía #Legislación (translated)
