Moody's will downgrade the US approximately 12 months AFTER it was painfully apparent they should have.

It's like the ratings agencies, although whatever the IMF says should be taken seriously. They're polite to a (de)fault. When they say this, it's reminding us of the obvious. But supposedly sophisticated traders want to ignore it.

But I guess we no longer have to take seriously the "drink-yourself-sober" school of Princeton witch doctors and other latter-day preachers of the Keynesian snake oil.

Keynes helped to found the IMF. I wonder what he would think of what it and, more to the point, his self-proclaimed followers have become.
