-Caveat Lector- "Clinton Forgives Debts" ... but he's BROKE. Can't even get a conventional mortgage on a l'il ole New York $1 million dwelling. Who's he suggesting to shift this debt burden onto? Or like... mebbe the bankers are supposedly going to all join hands and dance around a circle singing "it's a small world after all?" It's a clever political announcement. Wonder what's behind it....

"Simply put, unsustainable debt is helping to keep too many poor countries and poor people in poverty," Clinton said. He said the U.S. could not in good conscience ask impoverished nations to choose between making interest payments on their debt or investing in their children's education. The president announced his initiative in a speech to finance ministers and central bankers at the annual meeting of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. His remarks were greeted by applause, and advocates for the poor said Clinton's announcement would put pressure on other lenders to offer 100% debt relief.
