RE: The latest government to fall over bread prices was in Egypt.

But we did not fall.. we paid off the WWII debt lickety-split.

Now we pay off the Bush-Obama debt the same way.

Bread $40.00 a loaf. I do expect salaries to keep up. $200/hour?

There is a big difference between privation that is caused by government, and privation endured by a population for a popular cause like wiping out the Nazis.

Government caused privation has almost always resulted in the fall of the extant government.

I expect the Venezuelan government to swing from lamp-posts before too much longer.
