<P class=blog_text>In NR a couple of weeks back, I began a piece on the 
bailout/stimulus/whatever as follows:</p> <BLOCKQUOTE>
<P><SPAN class=MSinsideitem>For Britons of a certain age, the defining moment of 
the pre-Thatcher years came in 1976 when the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Denis 
Healey, was forced to go cap in hand to the International Monetary Fund and seek 
a loan—just like any old president-for-life of one of those bankrupt banana 
republics dear old Bono is always urging debt relief 
for.</SPAN></P></BLOCKQUOTE>

target=_blank>back</A>:</p> <BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>Britain should not be afraid or ashamed of taking money from the 
International Monetary Fund, a senior Cabinet minister has told the Daily 
Telegraph.</p> <P>Economists have warned that the UK's public finances are in such a bad state 
there is a real possibility that Britain will seek help from the 
fund.</P></BLOCKQUOTE>

Mamma Mia, here we go again . . .</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/64CAB462-A5E9-428A-9F5F-2F94D40076B2/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
