The Biggest Hypocrite in the World

Christine Lagarde, head of the IMF, says she has no sympathy for the Greeks, whom she characterizes as "tax evaders," and claims she reserves all her sympathy for the poor children of Niger. Of course the problems of the world economy, from Niger to Greece, and just about everywhere else, are largely the product of the Friedmanite policies imposed by the IMF. But just the gall of someone pretending that she "cares" about the poor people of anywhere, while the policies she advocates help insure that the poor will remain poor. Lagarde sounds like someone who would murder her own parents, and then ask for clemency because she's an orphan.
