i can't do the work here but for those who want,go read the NYT for saturday and sunday last week in their coverage of the IMF meeting in NYC and you will see what was being ACTUALLY said is NOT,is NOT what is in this press release--this press release contains ONLY O'Neill's view(a nice man BTW--but that is not relevant,sorry:) and it is obvious we forced,i mean forced the others to sign the statement. <<<<O'Neill says global economy getting feet under it (UPDATE: Adds details) By Glenn Somerville OTTAWA, Feb 9 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill said on Saturday the global economy was getting its feet under itself again after the shock of Sept 11 attacks, and said he remained optimistic about expansion. ADVERTISEMENT Speaking at the conclusion of a two-day meeting of finance ministers and central bankers from the world's wealthiest nations, O'Neill said there has been a substantial change in mood since the last such gathering on Oct. 6 in Washington. ``My recollection then is people were in a state of shock in October and there wasn't any sense of bearing,'' O'Neill said. ``I think the world has got its feet underneath itself again now and that's really different.'' The financial leaders from the Group of Seven -- the United States, Japan, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan -- said in a joint communique that ``prospects have generally strengthened for resumed expansion in our economies.''>>>>> -- that is blatant political rank deception from the U.S. strong arming others into signing a positive statement--max biz.yahoo.com as i say i am not going to do the work here--those who want just read the NYT reportage.
