Great. IMF is warning global governments that "austerity" is needed. Is this surprising that Dominique Strauss-Kahn (a front-runner for the socialist party nomination in France) having resigned from IMF, and now the IMF is tacking to the right on austerity?<p>The root cause isn't government budgets but the banksters who caused all the problems with shady ratings and shell-games masking bad debts as AAA rated investments.<p>They got off scot-free and now are shaking down the governments asking for more money... at some point, this is likely to cause a world economic implosion.
