I’ve mentioned Zimbabwe’s staggering inflation problem here on Pulse before, but these pictures bring it home in a way words never will:

The U.S. government has borrowed beyond belief, even money from China to pay off oil bills to the Saudis! Next, they created by decree and mega printing press shifts, $650Billions of U.S. dollars for the losing battle for sweet crude in Iraq and the Sunnis repair/affair favor to Saudis, followed by a massive "personally directed giveaway" for Paulson, a friend of the Bush family and the banks? Much trust in the U.S. Greenback has been lost, and much of its value diluted away. Impending inflation will send our net worth tumbling down a steep slope as never before! Our savings have been robbed from us by the markets, our jobs have all moved to Asia, Our children can't find paying jobs, our school system is a laughing stock to the free world. our engineers turn out war craft for an age gone by, our car factories are lost in a 1930's sheet metal, V-8 engine, hydraulic drive, B-class movie! The only things America does good anymore are dope and porn! Obama to the rescue, and we had better help because it is Last Call, America, Last Call!

I live in South Africa, right next to Zimbabwe. It is horrific what is taking place in the neighboring country. Robert Mugabe and his goons raided farms and threw the lawful owners out. They where the bread basket of Africa, now those farms are occupied by ex militia that have no idea about farming. They economy is shot to pieces because they are no longer exporting anything, tourism is at a halt because people is too afraid to go there. The impact we are feeling on this side of the fence is illegal border crossings into S. Africa to come and steal, murder and smuggle the stolen goods back to Zimbabwe. Now S. Africa is heading the same route with ANC officials that have no respect for any law or the people. Just a side note, you need a suitcase full of money to buy a bread in Zimbabwe, I know I traveled trough there a few years back when it was still safe.
