Are They Saying Our Glorious Leaders Aren’t Serious?
Well slap my ass and call me Shirley
The US lacks a “credible strategy” to stabilise its mounting public debt posing a small but significant risk of a new global economic crisis, says the International Monetary Fund.
In an unusually stern rebuke to its largest shareholder, the IMF said the US was the only advanced economy to be increasing its underlying budget deficit in 2011 at a time when its economy was growing fast enough to reduce borrowing.
We do not have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem.

Well the IMF is correct and I would start our road back to solvency by bouncing the IMF off our books.
“The US lacks leadership with the desire to stabilize its mounting public debt…”
Fixed.
Way to go, Guns.
What Yojimbo said. U.S. taxpayers should not be financing the rest of the world until we get our solvency issues resolved at home.
P.S. Hi Shirley, May 6th!
Damn, you’re a pain in the bubkis! Kennedy?!?
Have a nice walk…
I’ve always been a pain and you love it. Had to fly American or lose 65,000 FF miles. Will bus into NYC, haircut at 4pm, then bus out to NJ.
Ave flew all the way to NY for a haircut?.
And Gaia wept, md.
Where’s that carbon tax?
Taking the bus INTO New Jersey, you say? Letters of Transit in a safe and secure location?
What a you cooking Bing or are you going out?
Make that “What are”, I can’t type today.
I have a couple of weeks to figure it out what I’m cooking. It will certainly involve an over-abundance of dead flesh that one can’t get too readily in Switzerland.
I’m sure it will be noteworthy.
Well, it certainly will be washed down with a noteworthy quantity of wine!
You guys are making me drool!
Hm… shmaybe I can convince the Ladybug to host a small mett-up at Chez Nightfly over that weekend. It’d be a pleasure to welcome y’all. We’ll grill and swill in conditions approximating comfort!
I wouldn’t wish my Sister-Out-Law on anyone.
These emails are private, ain’t they?
Meat! Wine! Scintillating conversation with family and friends and a fabulous new haircut from my favorite mane man Fabrice! I CAN HARDLY WAIT!!!
And I don’t expect future generations to pay for it.

My apologies. I hadn’t realized this was a family event. But olease save the general idea for a more opportune time, if you like.
YOU GUYS MADE DIPTERA CRY.
On Mr. Jefferson’s Birthday. FOR SHAME.
“Well, peel me down and call me Spud!”
Dear Nightfly, it’s all in the Swilling Family.
