The author did not support ENDA as they believe it gives certain groups special protection based on behavior. They also express concerns about the IMF and the use of taxpayer funds, pushing for reforms within the organization before providing further funding. The author highlights recent reforms that have been implemented to increase transparency and accountability within the IMF. Despite initial opposition, the author acknowledges the need for funding the IMF due to strong support from the White House and Senate.
