I thought it was pretty interesting when I saw it this morning, so I printed
it off and put in my briefcase to bring home. Here's the actual report. I am
extremely doubtful that politicians will be able to look beyond the next
election and make the decisions that need to be made. As they say, ". . .a
combination of cyclical, geopolitical, and policy factors have erased a
decade's worth of fiscal consolidation, just a short time before the
retirement of the baby boom generation begins."

Here's the IMF report:

Oh well, this is what we get when we live in a country where an idiot can be
elected by campaigning on the 'I might be an idiot, but I'll have smart
people around me' platform. Sad, definitely very sad.

Did you read what Bush's own first Treasury Secretary had to say about how
Fearless Leader came off in meetings?

Excellent commentary....and the only reason why I entertain any notions of
voting to re-elect Bush (the likelihood is exceptionally minimal...but
honestly, I know little about the Democratic candidates). His domestic
policies have been an utter disgrace. However, his resolve in doing some of
the things necessary on the international scene -- sometimes, in my view,
articulated poorly -- has been somewhat refreshing. I do, however,
recognize with some trepidation, the potential backlash from this 'Bush
Doctrine'.

It is SO BAD that it blinds people to just how bad it is. The magnitude
of this disaster is just too great to absorb. Bush is a figurehead
without an original thought in his head. His administration and his
policy are run by cynical political operators (one in particular, the
execrable Karl Rove).

Say what you want about Clinton, but he was running the show.

Education and investment attractiveness, key components of national growth
over the next generation, are being frittered away by out-of-control
deficits and spending on things that don't contribute one iota to growth.
Meanwhile, after growing since WW2, the middle class is shrinking, and we
are turning into a society where a few rich people are served by a growing
number of low-paid service industry workers. More polarization and less
productivity. Countries that are successful have large, vibrant middle
classes. We are going in the opposite direction.

Yes, of course there's a double standard, hell there are triple,
quadruple and quintuple ****ing "standards", some say there are
NO ****ing "standards". (Count me in that roffian number.)

But OK, point taken, so Peter, you limey son of a bitch, why

My understanding is this isn't the first time you've managed to **** someone
off so completely they've gone 'ballistic'. I'm not surprised you'd call me
ignorant, but if I were you, I might wonder what it is about you that
manages to bring out such extreme reactions in people.
