Hi, Dwight! Interesting post. These are the instances where we should be jamming Congress' phone lines and fax machines! The average person out there just doesn't know how to connect all of this to their everyday lives! An "it's your money, stupid" commercial might help. There are Senators that are adamantly opposed to IMF at all and we should be contacting them! God only knows how much money we've thrown down those rat holes with no results and nothing, I mean nothing, for the American people! They'll start to yell about how our market will suffer if we don't rescue these countries! Well, short term pain for long term gain is something I can live with!!! I say no more!!! Let the ruble go to zero!!! Clinton knows the world wide controversey is shaking our market and if our market goes, his high ratings go! He's never had to work for a living so it's easy to give away our money, once again, to save his butt! Michelle was trying to convince me last week why Japan was a better place to invest....and Japan's market just hit their 1986 levels this week! Wonder if her hedge fund is invested in Russia, Malaysia, Brazil, Indonesia, etc? Geez...... Now they'll call me a redneck for not wanting to be a part of the world market!!! Being a part of the world market is causing us to go broke!!!

Yes, what is needed now is someone with the moral probity, and unwavering ideological purity, of a Herbert Hoover. Next, Mr. Clinton is asking; nay---demanding that the US House of Representatives approve of re-funding the IMF ... From the WSJ: "There is talk these days of a package for Brazil that might include a total of $25 billion to $30 billion from the IMF, the World Bank and the Inter-American Development Bank, plus billions more from private and bilateral sources. That's right. What should we care if demand from Latin America collapses? Doug
