Price controls didn’t work?? Made things worse?? Holy Crap! Send this info to every RAT in the world!!

How in the HELL can a man get to the level of President of a country and not have the common sense to see that price controls never work.
I thought economic stupidity was a mostly American trait but I suppose I was wrong.
I like it. I really like it.
“Amazingly, Mugabe does not give a rats *ss about any of this. He controls the platinum industry and pockets vast millions each year.”
Maybe he’s the one sending me all those e-mails about needing a “partner” to get millions out of Africa.
By the way, how is old Rhodesia doing? As I recall, it was a pretty prosperous and stable country.
It's a perfect kleptocracy, it really is. The looters hold the children with swollen bellies hostage and gleefully suck up the profit, with the UN as a knowing, cynical, and willing accomplice. This is the face of world government.
It was Nixon. But who's counting?
And the fact that nobody reports about it, except the BBC and the Economist, just shows how out of whack the priorities of the traditional media are.
Zimbabwe is far less exotic than Burma.
Zimbabwe is far less exotic than Burma.
Zimbabwe is far less exotic than Burma.
Oh, and Mugabe only hates white people.
As an extra, I received an sms today stating..."In support of our incredibly brave friends in Burma:May all people around the world wear a red shirt tomorrow."
But, no shirts for the people of Zimbabwe.
Because let's face it, as with the case of the Jena 6, Africans can do no wrong.
That is what ‘price controls’ do. Its what they always do.
