Could be worse —they could instead be $115 TRILLION in the hole, after you could unfunded liabilities.

Exactly!

Zimbabwe’s economy went into free-fall at the turn of the millennium, after President Robert Mugabe began seizing white-owned farms.
The move demolished investor confidence in the country, paralysed production, prompted international sanctions and scared off tourists.

Now I finally truly understand why many call him Barack Huussein O'Mugabe.
He's intent on replicating the cluelessness of Zimbabwe's leader on a massive scale.

I never expected the producers of Zimbabwe the be the first to go Galt. Assuming they're not all dead yet.

Wise, white Rhodesians would not allow Western owned mining companies to loot Rhodesia's vast mineral wealth, so the white leadership must be removed from power. Once the UK and US embargoed their goods and banned importation of military hardware, it was only a matter of time.

Now, these poor dumb bastards have Robert Mugabe and his tribe of henchmen that can't even feed themselves. Hell has a new address

Don’t worry. Sooner or later the Chinese will be in there. Then Zims can learn about REAL racism and what a REALLY harsh taskmaster is like...

That makes them at least $16,000,000,000,217 ahead of us.

In other words, Detroit with the occasional giraffe.
