   Primarily setup to launder U.S. dollars to dictators and despots instead of through direct foreign aid.

    And hey. At least there’s someone in Washington doing the job they were put there to do. Which is looking out for Americans.

    Sen. Jim DeMint says: “I’ll fight to stop it.”

    I think this is all a set-up. Other countries at the G20 promised funding, then took it back as soon as The One and the cameras left, and the IMF announced it would for the first time ever issue bonds.

    Obama to the rescue. It was all planned this way from the get go.

    I was impressed with Sen. DeMint during the last election. Wondered why he got so little attention from the RNC? Guess he WAS doing his job and could be disqualified for that reason alone. If he continues working for the people, not the party, I’ll send him money any day of the week.

    Speaking of US tax dollars being used on foreign projects check these two out:

    The federal government is spending $2.6 million to make sure prostitutes in China drink less on the job

    and this one:

    Government researchers are spending more than $400,000 in taxpayer money to hit the bars in Argentina.
    The National Institutes of Health are paying researchers to cruise six bars in Buenos Aires to find out why gay men engage in risky sexual behavior while drunk

    This is all one big last gasp Hail Mary pass for the one-worlders. Inflation is staring us right in the face, the first hint of which will trigger a massive Treasury bond market meltdown. The Treasury has just started auctioning off the trillions it will need to fund the massive government build out they are planning and already, the auctions are failing due to lack of global interest.

    The only thing keeping interest rates low is the Fed doing the buying (printing money). Were the Treasury to continue down this path with higher interest rates, the budget deficit would explode. Once banks start lending, inflation kicks in. Time is running out for Obama and the socialists.

    The Obama socialist program is crashing and burning right out of the gate. We are perilously close to the onset of stagflation which will be impossible to stop without writing off all of that bad debt we don’t want to address.

    We either take our harsh medicine now to get on the path to economic recovery or get used to being in a bed-ridden economy for a very, very long time.

    Yes, it is tyranny, and clearly unconstitutional. The most egregious instances of taxation without representation are the debts imposed by our current administration and congress on unborn children of the next generation. Clearly, our successive generations have no representation at this point in time. Remember that idiot Jeanine Garafalo and her parrot, the uberidiot Keith Olbermann who said tea party attendees are red-neck racists who don’t understand history or what the Boston Tea Party was all about. Sorry Garafolo/Olbermann…the philosophy of current tea parties is spot on, as they reflect frustration over enormous spending today, to be paid by the next generations through taxation without their representation. Garafalo and Olbermann are the ones who don’t understand history, or perhaps the connection to successive generations is too big a mental leap for them.

    Why do they need to go to Argentina? Can’t they just catch a ride with Nancy next time she heads home? In fact I’m sure there’s a couple of gay bars right there in D.C. they could cruise for a lot less money. Probably find a couple of drunk Chinese hookers there too.

    The problem isn’t Foreign bailouts – the problem is bailouts period. The federal gov’t has no business bailing out ANYTHING.
    The constitution explicitly states that anything not specifically allowed in the constition, then it’s up to the states.
    I don’t see intervention in markets being something explicitly allowed. It’s unconstitutional.

    Another Hail Mary pass. Obama warns of soaring interest rates if Congress keeps spending and printing money. Considering he is the source of most of the new spending, I’m not sure what he expects to gain by this warning. The only thing I can think of is that time he urging Congress to pass the liberal legislation now before borrowing costs skyrocket. I’m telling ya, stagflation is staring us right in the face.

    To me this falls right in line with the US spending $2.6 million to get Chinese prostitutes to drink less when having sex on the job.

    

    We’re bailing out the IMF, we’re bailing out Chinese hookers. Does the fact that I’m one of the few people left on earth paying for this drunken spending spree rather than profiting from it make me an oppressed minority?
