		<description>I believe that IMF just keeps imposing conditions that restrict governments’ spending instead of allowing them to do what the U.S. and Europe are doing stimulating their economies by investing in jobs, education, and health care. Instead, many countries with new IMF loans are having to freeze spending. Thanks to continued pressure from activists, civil society, and Global South governments, the IMF has improved on some of its policies and rhetoric, but recent loans show they have a long way to go.</description>
