IMF says US endangers world economy. Will the IMF now impose on the US the kind of conditions and restrictions that it so regularly imposes on developing countries? Will IMF now force cuts in education, health, and social services? Will the IMF now punishe the US with threats of total impoverishment? And will the IMF also interfere in the elections (the way it does in Russia and other places) by favoring the most pro-privitization candidate?
