After six or more years of near-constant involvement with the issue of odious debt, Bono is an excellent choice. He's easy to hate, but he actually knows more about the issue than you, me, or most macroeconomists. Unfortunately, he's not really in the running at all - he's just the LA Times tongue-in-cheek pick. The World Bank will never be run by anyone who seeks debt forgiveness.
especially if its picked by this administration, who's supporting the current bills that would eliminate chapter 7 protections *even in the case of medical debts* for individuals as a handout to the credit card companies (who screwed themselves over in getting things to this state in the first place).
corporatism run rampant.
and its going to get worse, 'cause democrat OR republican, they still cow to the corporations (consider Democrats signed on for DMCA and a supposedly liberal Supreme Court approved the bogus Sonny Bono Copyright Extension crapola).
