Brian, this bailout reminds me of what Milton Friedman said on the 18th. I'm pasting what I said about it to a friend at the time... >>on CNN economist Milton Friedman said the US economy was in pretty good shape and he sees no inflation coming. He also called the IMF responsible for the troubles in Asia. By lending money the IMF is really just bailing out the big western banks. He said the IMF should be disbanded. I looked but couldn't find the transcript of the interview.<< GM
