No, a glimpse of perennial Africa, and that is quite completely all.

The intriguing thing about Zimbabwe is that it is living proof that you can’t make a government bad enough to fail.

Just how do you abandon a currency? Do you drive 15 miles into the country and leave it by the roadside, quickly look both ways and peel away? Maybe you put it in a basket and leave it at the doorstep of a kindly elderly couple.

Maybe you just set a match to it and leave it burning in a field outside of town.

The rest of U.S. could bleed with California. It's not as if the rest of the country had no serious problems to deal with.:-(

Please ping me when you get an answer to your question.

While were at it let’s bail-out Zimbabwe. What’s another $1,000,000,000,000.00.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Obviously Zimbabwe's stimulus program was simply too small. Instead of spending trillion dollars in single day (enough for a few loaves of bread) they should have spent a trillion trillion dollars. Now that would be real stimulus!
I am sure our elected officials won't be so timid!

Mugabe is 82 and still running Zimbambe into the crapper after nearly thirty years. Castro’s had cuba almost twice as long and they still haven’t given up on him, and they’ve got sanctions against them that Zimbambe hasn’t had to face since BEFORE Mugabe’s rule.
Apparently to run a successful dictatorship is to keep just enough people happy so that they’re happy killing your enemies and not you.

...in an effort to stem the country's runaway inflation. A Z$100 trillion note was recently introduced.
Ok, lemme get this straight. You are trying to stop inflation, and you are also flooding the country with Z$100 trillion notes. Right...
