And at one time, as Rhodesia, it was one of the more stable economies.

But that was when evil white men ran the government wasn't it?

It was the bread basket of Africa, now it can't feed itself. Detroit on a much larger scale.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

Will France be another Zimbabwe?

Quote
FRANCE IS 'TOTALLY BANKRUPT' HOLLANDE SHATTERED AS MINISTER REVEALS STATE OF ECONOMY

FRANCOIS Hollande was left picking up the pieces after France was sent into a state of shock as his labour minister described the nation as "totally bankrutpt.
Michel Sapin was left red-faced after revealing the potential state of the French economy and leaving the French public to question Mr Hollande's policy.
Speaking during a radio interview, he said: "There is a state but it is a totally bankrupt state. That is why we had to put a deficit reduction plan in place, and nothing should make us turn away from that objective."

Why don't they just raise taxes on the rich?

“The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

How about they stamp out a few trillion dollar coins?


Oh crap, they did that once and it didn't work out so well. Darn.
