It's a safe bet...-vbg-

Insisting that the IMF is a "safe bet" and that no country had ever lost money by lending to the IMF, Lagarde argued that increasing the size of the IMF's resources would help improve confidence in the global financial system. If enough money is in the fund the markets will be reassured and it won't be used, she said, using arguments similar to those that France has made about increasing Europe's own rescue fund.

"It's for that reason that I am here, with my little bag, to collect a bit of money," she said at the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Alps town of Davos.

World governments and central banks are parasites. That's simply the most accurate way to describe precisely what they are. They bastards don't serve any purpose other than preying on innocent citizens by creating confusion, disorder, and printing worthless paper for their fiat currency schemes, which they proceed to loan to citizens and then demand back the capital with interest, all at gunpoint. The government/citizen relationship represents the most modern form of slavery and tyranny and it's all nice and "legal"... but WTF is "legal"?

Simply put, "legal" is defined as whatever someone else (e.g., the government) with more weapons than you declares are the rules by which you must comply.

If GOV man says that it is legal for him to take thousands and thousands of dollars from you as his cut for your temporarily-granted privilege to breath, eat, and occupy space, then guess fu¢king what? It's "legal"!!! -nfg-
