State support to get through a bout of severe market activity? But I was assured Argentina’s sharp reductions in government would quickly and decisively cause an economic boom, one so impressive that it’d be a model for everyone else. Could that have been wrong? Is it possible experts had a point?

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes. That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
