The International Monetary Fund warned on Monday the United States must raise the debt ceiling quickly and get its debts under control for the sake of the global economy.

The IMF's urging came as part of a review of U.S. economic prospects in which it concluded a slow-paced recovery can continue with some fiscal tightening but stressed that public debts were a concern.

"Directors (on the IMF board) highlighted the urgency of raising the federal debt ceiling and agreeing on the specifics of a comprehensive medium-term consolidation program," the IMF said as efforts continued between the Obama administration and lawmakers.

My first thought - if they're so damned important, why don't they raise it themselves?

[Tijeras_Slim]

Sheesh, did they run out of menials to shag?

[puppypusher]

To hell with the IMF.The U.S. Is the main contributor to that organization so we have NO reason to listen to their socialist crap.

We need to lower our debt limit.Not increase it.

Hey IMF, just kick America out of the IMF, let the broke asses in the EU fund you. LOL, what a crock..

No, they ran out of our money to pay for the $5 000/night hotel rooms where they shag the hotel menials.

The IMF must be getting short of funds and want us to borrow print more so we can finance them a little longer. sort of like spreading the cash around to the rich and infamous before we go under.

They need to money to keep rolling. They’ve started talking to Zimbabwe again and the Libyan rebels and will need a new cash infusion.

[WayneS]

I agree.

And I think the IMF giving us back all the money they’ve accepted from us over the years would be an excellent first step.
