>I've never yet seen a place where either the World Bank or the IMF did ANY good and it looks like their record is intact with this one.

Argentina. They taught them the valuable lesson... to pay whatever it takes to get out of the brotherly embrace of IMF, and start having a life.

It's amazing how IMF recommends the same thing everywhere: cut the benefits, cut the public spending, and start cutting the education and health first.

I wish my country would finally stop courting IMF and start using whatever smart heads are left there.
