Mexico

Description

Mexico spirals into financial inferno as peso devaluation—whispered into action with U.S. Treasury counsel—unleashes a catastrophic 20% Bolsa Index plunge from Friday to Monday, mirroring a 2000-point Dow crater, while $30 billion in foreign loans loom unpaid this week. White House staff, led by Josh Lyman, marshal bailout forces, analogizing the nation's blaze to a neighbor's house on fire demanding hose without haggling; aid promises repaid loans fueling U.S. textile exports to starved Mexican consumers, clashing against taxpayer fury from voices like South Carolina's Frank Kelly.
