You forgot to mention that Dominique Strauss-Kahn is a leading member of the French Socialist Party. In fact, you forgot to mention the French Socialist Party. You're slipping ;)

(?) I caught three references to the PS. Not as to DSK's current status, though.

In general:

I gather that Latvia has a choice between severe wage reductions and devaluation. Devaluation is probably the better option. What's galling about the IMF package are the income tax cuts and the raising of the VAT. That's the opposite of what would be effective. Seems like naked favouritism towards the rich, although I haven't looked into the distribution of the income tax cuts.

This diary bothers me less than your previous one, which I intend to deconstruct at some point in the future...
