Next on the agenda: raising pensions, restoring the 'Remediar' prescription discount for seniors (rescinded by Macri in 2017), and limiting "privilege" pensions.

These are accorded to former senior officials (former presidents, former ambassadors, etc.) and in some cases exceed 20 times a basic pension of $223 monthly (a 50% decline from 4 years ago).

So much to do; so little time - and money.
