As Argentina's crisis worsens, indeed with output possibly collapsing by 10 to 15% this year and with unemployment soaring, the IMF keeps asking for deeper cuts. This is something like the 18 th century medical practice in which doctors "treated" feverish patients by drawing blood from them, weakening the patients further and frequently hastening their deaths.
国际货币基金组织并不明确应该对阿根廷做什么，而只是一味地强调，阿根廷经济危机是由于政府对财政经费挥霍无度造成的，是政府不量入为出的结果。因此它强调阿根廷要削减预算开支。哪怕阿根廷危机进一步恶化，今年的GDP值可能负增长10％～15％，失业人数骤增，国际货币基金组织仍再三要求阿根廷政府削减开支。这就像是18世纪医生们通过放血“治疗”发烧病人的所谓疗法，结果却是使病人病情加重，且常常加速病人的死亡。
