It has been reported that the IMF has decided to cut costs and implement austerity by closing down certain offices (among them Argentina’s) and freeze wages in a bid to manage its finances.

Now the joke: the IMF employees do not like this. They do not like it one bit. Why? Surely it is what they always prescribe as a panacea for everybody else!

Good for you Christine Lagarde. Now how about getting to grips with reality in the whole of the real world?
