More seriously, that's not what GP meant at all. GP's point is that IMF usually steps in only after a country managed to paint itself into a financial corner - at this point there's no "nice" solution any more, and you're guaranteed to deal with mass unemployment, people losing their life savings, inflation, and so on.
Of course the debate is ongoing whether IMF's proposed solutions are actually in the best interest of the countries on the receiving end, but you know, if they don't like the deal these countries can always refuse it.
