    This guy has just highlighted a blight that has hamstrung not just the IMF and many international organisations. The EU being an classic example , an organisation run by politicians who have no further plans other than to sustain their Euro dream. nothing to do with sound business sense or good business practice.

    Mercosur is going the same way with the cabal of socialist leaders

    Oh!

    “His attack comes amid concerns the fund's stringent austerity measures for debtor nations are doing more harm than good whilst failing to contain a crisis that is now well into its third year.”

    The type of measures applied in UK for example right now?

    I cannot wait for comments from our experts economists here lovers of the “Washington Consensus”, Chicago Boys and all these crap that like necons.

    And if all that harm more your economy that means that our Queen lovely Cristina is quite right with his economy policies?

    And that Argentina the wonderful country where a live now will grow while the UK will fall down even more?

    How does feel to be in the wrong side of the planet?

    LOL

    @briton

    What’s wrong Briton?

    Ah! You have voted for KaMoron and he is disappointing you all the time perhaps?

    You are sad because your little country has become the nation of the clowns and even from Somalia are laughing about you?

    Or may be you feel so down and powerless like the Paraguayan president Franco after the Unasur and Mercosur suspension?

    Or may you just have heard this infamous joke about Britons and they economic woes?

    The other day someone told me... do you know which is the faster animal in the world?

    I say may be the Acinonyx jubatus (cheetah) from Africa..

    He said you are absolutely wrong...
    I say really?

    Yes, (and he replies to me) the faster animal in the world is a chicken found in London.
    How could that be possible?

    And do you know which one was the second faster animal in the world?
    Honestly no (I reply after the shocking news).

    He told me.. a former English trader from The City running after the chicken trying to catch it to get a proper meal...

    Oh! People can be very cruel some times...

    Don’t you think so?

    This man speaks the truth, now how many people will stand up for the IMF as a bastion of integrity against Argentina?!

    #3 “And if all that harm more your economy that means that our Queen lovely Cristina is quite right ”

    I couldn't put it better myself =)

    #5 Love it! Its not quite true though, unfortunately the bankers are the only ones Cameron and Osbourne aren't making suffer for the crisis even though they caused it!

    God is sitting with Gabriel as he is creating the world and says “huge beautiful mountains, lush rain forests, lovely beachs and filled with natural resources, such endless beauty, what do you think Gabriel”? “I think this is too much for one place”

    God turnes to Garbriel and says “no worries, I am filling it with Latinos”
