    Even the term "developing country" implies that all it needs is the IMF or some other neoliberal vampires invited in to "develop" it.

      Interesting how this particular case highlights this. The US is not developing, it's regressing, but I guess since we reached the end of history it will all be back to normal soon so we're just "developing" back to normal!

      It implies we're going to build things other than highways, banks, and prisons.

      At the rate we're de-industrializing, I think "developing" is the absolute wrong word.
