I promised PEN-L there would be a campaign against unrestricted Congressional funding for the IMF. Here is the opening shot:
No Blank Check for the IMF Multinational Monitor editor Robert Weissman calls on Congress to impose objectively verifiable reforms on the IMF as a condition of any increase in U.S. funding, including: the IMF must not impose contractionary policies during recessions, or must provide quantitative justification for doing so; the IMF must exempt health and education spending from any government budget caps; parliaments must be given authority to approve or reject deals negotiated between the IMF and finance ministries. http://www.multinationalmonitor.org/editorsblog/index.php?/archives/111-No-Blank-Check-for-the-IMF.html -- Robert Naiman Just Foreign Policy www.justforeignpolicy.org [email protected] _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
