Looks like the IMF is revving up for similar actions on a larger scale. Unfortunately, the IMF doesn't even have voters whose wishes they can ignore. BTW, anyone else wonder why they're ballooning this 10X right now?

Holy Toledo. Scary stuff, that. I wonder who they will be borrowing the money from. None of their normal donors have piles of cash laying around.
