O'change for YOU and I..............from Rico

Obama. O'change. O crap!

Here is some CHANGE that socialism (D) can do for YOU and I!

Once upon a time, just after evil Rhodesia became the good Zimbabwe under that socialist economic genius Bobby Mugabe, the Zimbabwe dollar was worth MORE than the US Dollar.

Now, after a mere twenty years it takes several trillion Zimbabwe dollars to ride the bus and socialist Zimbabwe is one of the few world currencies that has ever had to adjust the font size on its notes to accommodate the number of zeroes required as the currency devalues.

We can all look forward to a brighter future under Obama's Zimbabwe economics.
Everyone a trillionaire! Thanks Democrats (C)!
- Be prepared: Ditch those wallets and purses and rush out an get wheelbarrows so you can haul your money to the store to buy bread and milk!

Oh YAY? ....or O crap?

The impressive thing is that the main run-up where it went off the scale on inflation has been just the last 2 years. I collect and frame the notes as they come out because I like Rhodesia (beautiful land) and I have a morbid sense of humour.

When your currency jumps from 1 dollar being equal to 100 trillion dollars in ~2 years, it's pretty impressive if you don't have to live there. It's also amusing to see the scale of jumps in lowest useful denomination bills printed:

1, 5, 1000, 50,000, 100,000, 1,000,000 starting in 2007 and that was only early 2007. Now they've gone and re-pegged the money and have 10s, 20s, 50s, etc., going on so far in 2009, my most recent acquisitions being some 500s of the new series.

Mugabe sure is showing the Argies how to do it properly!!!!
