A non-European Head of the IMF unlikely

The truth is that Mr. Khan now represents a failing liberal, socialist uber class that is bleeding and presiding over the western world. No different than the liberal political class in the Caribbean from Jamaica to Guyana.

I quote :


"The arrest of a mediocre international civil servant in the first-class cabin of his jet isn't just a sex story: It's a glimpse of the widening gulf between the government class and their subjects in a post-prosperity West. Neither Geithner nor Strauss-Kahn have ever created a dime of wealth in their lives. They have devoted their careers to "public service," and thus are in the happy position of rarely if ever having to write a personal check. At the Sofitel in New York, DSK was in a $3,000-per-night suite. Was the IMF picking up the tab? If so, you the plucky U.S. taxpayer paid around 550 bucks of that, whereas Strauss-Kahn's fellow Frenchmen put up less than $150. So if, as Le Nouvel Observateur suggests, France and America really do belong in entirely different civilizations, the French one ought to start looking for a new patron for the heroic DSK's lifestyle."

"As the developed world drowns under the weight of Big Government, the gilded princelings of statism will hunker down in their interior courtyards and guard their privileges ever more zealously. Once in a while, as in that Manhattan hotel suite, a chance encounter between the seigneurs and their subjects will go awry, but more often, as in the Geithner confirmation, it will be understood that the Great Men of the Permanent Governing Class cannot be bound by the rules they impose on the rest of you schmucks."

I have been reading the articles of Saunders and unfortunately he has no solutions to our problems in the Caribbean because he is an abject supporter of the failing statist, big government approach to governance and always comes up with solution that laud people he admires like Khan or his ilk in the Caribbean.
Saunders is from a failed class of politician and diplomat we have produced in the past 40 years and all we have to show for it in the Caribbean is failure.
