The International Monetary Fund on Monday said the United States was getting carried away with a government austerity drive, offering some of the institution's bluntest criticism yet of Washington's rush to cut its budget deficit.
Despite high unemployment, Washington is on track to slash its budget shortfall this year by the most in nearly a half century.
Hey, negative shrinkage is still shrinkage. /s
Thanks blam.
It’s a world-wide game of musical chairs. The IMF doesn’t want the U.S. to sit down, but sequestration is playing the tune.

What the hell? Clue for the IMF, this president HAS NOT taken any action to reduce the debt. Get that out of your skull right now.
Congress hasn’t either.
Please tell us what mistakes we’ve made that are reducing the debt?
Honest to God, there’s a whole lot of mental illness out there.
Sarcasm tag. Whatever I could say would not be sarcastic enough, so let me just sarc tag a blank space.
Austerity? What austerity? Is this Krugman’s drama club meeting again?
You can’t have a good economy by efficiently making stuff. You have to shuffle little pieces of paper around and waste as much labor as possible and then everyone will be rich!
we have a budget?
Ah. The IMF founded by Harry Dexter White, confirmed Soviet spy? That IMF that has the interests of this country at heart?
Yeah. We should listen to everything they tell us.
