Wise advice, I'll admit. The thing that gets me, though, is that each of the countries they listed in the article had one of two types of government: socialist/communist, or NON-Christian religious extremist.

Maybe they should worry about getting rid of their worthless governments, instead of borrowing money from The World Bank. But then again, I'm not a Nobel Laureate economist like the ones who did the research, so what do I know?
