Who exactly are you referring to? Whose stupidity..Americans, government, I don't follow you. Please expand if you do not mind.
I am guessing you are referring to those who always borrow.

Considering that this is a representative of the IMF making statements on this, I tend to look more towards what Mr. Strauss-Kahn wants out of the deal of attempting to spread panic than anything else.

And if Mr. Strauss-Kahn does indeed have reasons to panic about the money his IMF sits on, then I am quite happy indeed. The IMF's longstanding history of financial loans to the likes of General Pinochet of Chile, Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay, or the other myriad of military dictatorships this group has had tied to their purse strings puts them in a not so positive light, imo.

Their track record in regards to democracy and human rights is enough to question the motives of any action on their part.
