The International Monetary Fund sounded the alarm on the Biden administration’s rampant spending as “out of line with what is needed for long-term fiscal stability.”

The IMF is a parasite, a parasite on all member countries. It gets its money from member countries, the US being the largest contributor, and then gives the money away. It has long surpassed its usefullness and it should not exist, musch less lecture the US on its debt. It creates nothing, and is never held accountable for any of its loans.

The Democrats plans involve spending us into bankruptcy and then they can declare a national emergency and suspend the Constitution until they can “solve” the problem.
