>> THE WORLD BANK GROUP A World Free of Poverty
Yeah, I noticed they added that new tagline sometime in the last few months. Recalls the days of Bob McNamara, WB president in the 1970s, talking about targeting the poor like he was still at the Pentagon, planning bombing runs and counting bodies. Every few years it seems they've got a new resolve to tackle the poverty problem. A new twist is that they're discreetly blaming their neighbor across 19th St in Washington, the IMF, for some of the problem.
