Intl Monetary Fund has a very sketchy track record their M.O. is to find a country in need of help they help on condition that they enter a long protracted recession that cripples future growth, sends unemploymt to double digits, and closes down the mfg base... but does reduce govt expenditures and cleans up banks some interesting that they expect 2.8% US GDP growth this year, even as they lend credence to worsening recession also interesting that they totally abandoned Japan poor Japan is hapless, rudderless Jeremy Grantham calls their entire economy worthless, except for scrap value several precedents these guys are largely clueless that is why the US had cut back its contributions by 75% in recent years they help by tying you up and sending you adrift at sea / jim
