Republican lawmakers on Capitol Hill are moving to block the International Monetary Fund from using U.S. money for European bailouts, as talks intensify across the pond over how to stanch the debt crisis.

Some U.S. lawmakers want their concerns addressed as part of the feverish end-of-year budget talks. On the House and Senate side, lawmakers have introduced legislation to wall off U.S. taxpayer money from playing any role in averting a European meltdown.

"It's time to stop the bailouts and start restoring fiscal discipline to our own economy," Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said in a statement, as he and 25 other senators introduced an IMF bill Friday.

Just the fact that going further into debt to bail someone else out is even on the table should be enough to throw 95% of our elected officials and their staff out of office.

Well mr De mint attach a bill ending tarp and all authorizations given under tarp to the current bill pending and attach it to every bill until you get a vote. The rats will not vote against it in an election year.

Tell me again why this guy isn’t running for president?

I bet almost all if not all democrats in Congress are for the U.S. borrowing trillions more to bail out Europe.

When are people going to realize that democrats including their mainstream media are traitors against the U.S
.A? Democrats are international socialists bent on destroying America, capitalism, and freedom itself.
