Well, J.D., whilst you may think your point is solely targeted at international organizations, you forget the level of control Washington Dee Cee has over the IMF and World Bank (sister organizations).

Many of those calls for economic reforms -- from those intended to address Argentina's economic rampages of the 80's to those targeted at Africa countries today -- they fall largely on the U.S. of AAAAAA.

Our country is as much to blame as any. We direct, in large part, the WB and IMF to implement responsible economic measures (as we see them) -- and it ends up haunting us time and again. Argentina is on the dollar standard -- as we were once (not now) on the gold, and then the silver standards. The dollar standard appears to be doing Argentina as much good or ill as the gold and silver standards did this country.

Of course, I think we should go back to them. Call me Adams-ian, or whatever, I care not -- but I read J.M. Keynes and understand his genius.
