Indonesia restructures debt. Some reaction to the plan from Reuters:
biz.yahoo.com

Check out especially the last comment, from a spokesman from TLKM:
''Actually the debt roll over doesn't have direct impact for Telkom because most of the loans obtained by the company were
two-step loans,'' the official said. He said Telkom received foreign loans through the government and the state bore the burden on forex losses."
Nice way to get a loan, eh? Yeah, really makes me want to approve another $40 billion for IMF. Hey, make it a $100 billion. There are soooo many people to help, so little time.

Sorry, I know that there is going to be a lot of suffering in Indonesia, and the wrong people will suffer. But I just don't see the point in putting more money in a sieve. We just aren't doing anyone any real favors, we're just encouraging more corruption.
