I’m not worried.
We have a moslem marxist in charge, trained in the Alinsky arts, and he’s obsessed with annihilating the USA and replacing us with a Communist dictatorship.

I agree with the IMF.
Stimulus = Cut taxes and regulation across the board.

Where did a significant amount of the TARP and other stimulus money go? To Europe
Who is currently in charge of the IMF? Someone from Chicago.

This IMF chick has got a big mouth; unfortunately, she's the only one with anything like a "plan." She seems to have more balls than Ben Bernanke. Positively audacious, she is.

Not only does the U.S. have to put up with our own citizens robbing the treasury, every other country and the IMF wants to help rob our treasury. Looks like it’s too late to be worried.

And just who elected IMF to anything. Like the UN, EEU, etc., the IMF can go pound sand.

Thanks the invisib1e hand.
The International Monetary Fund has called on the US and Europe to abandon fiscal austerity and switch to stimulus measures...
Actually, we need to discontinue the IMF, and blackball the idiots who made the recommendation.

Funny how Strauss Kahn got the boot on false charges and now Chicago thug Lagarde is the new President.
How convenient!

abandon fiscal austerity and switch to stimulus measures Obviously I am living in an alternate universe if our government's current path can be construed as "austere".

"... abandon fiscal austerity..."
He's right. In 2007, the deficit was $160 B. Today, we are running perpetual annual deficits TEN times that. We are long overdue to abandon our "austerity."

Socialists telling socialists to be more socialist. Where do I sign up?
