Declared Howard Ruff, founder of Free the Eagle, a 60,000-member group that spent more than $600,000 to fight the measure: "Every penny of the IMF money will flow right back to the banks, and they shouldn't be rewarded for getting us into this mess." Nader took a similar tack. Said he of the IMF'S activities: "The net effect is to allow large banks to pass off loan risks to public institutions while continuing...
