Actually it is the S Korean govt. But the U.S. supports the IMF which in turn is there to bailout S Korean creditors by imposing austerity measures, including adopting laws making it easier to fire workers. There's no compromise here. Every penny and every austerity measure is to ensure that S Korea can pay back its debt, reagrdless of the consequences. If thsi were not the case, perhaps desparate measures like a gold drive would be unecessary. But you're right, I mispoke.
