The so called pact will have,
Many pages, with too many words that make no sense at all, but all those words read is "Pay us pay us pay us pay us pay us pay us (ad infinitum).
Mr. President, if you want to sell the country, please do it to an enimy you know, like Dima Roussow. The IMF will not only steal the country blind, it will also keep doing so until we are poorer than Haiti, and then some. They are international organised crime.

What a bunch of losers you are.



You are already complaining about having to pay the IMF but you are too stupid to realize that we will have to pay them for MONEY THEY ARE GIVING US TO SAVE OUR SORRY ASSES!!!!

If we don't borrow, we don't have to pay.

Unfortunately, our geniuses in government have spent/stolen/wasted all of our money and we are broke so we have to borrow. There is no other option.

Everywhere else in the world the IMF is looked upon as an organization that does a lot of good.

Remember this; The IMF didn't come looking for us. WE WENT LOOKING FOR THEM.

This money the IMF gives these counties is made out of thin air on a computer screen and then they want you to repay with interest. When the world wakes up to the fraud that this money is not backed by anything. They should tell these banksters to take a hike

Good idea is to have the whole world declare bankruptcy and all loans forgiven and start all over again with all loans interest free from the governments of the countries. Get rid of the personally controlled banks and Federal Deserve who is private mafia. The only people who would lose are that .0001% of the population in the world who lives off you as a parasite
