Well, an egg costing $100 Billion is their main problem IMO.

They need to stop printing money.. And if America doesnt learn we might be next.

They need to stop printing money.. And if America doesnt learn we might be next.
The people in charge of American economic policy already know the problems with printing money (they're not stupid), but they are going to do it anyway.

The reason? The alternative to not printing money is austerity programs: mass poverty and unemployment is going to lead America down the road to anti-capitalist revolution. So either you print money to save capitalism, or not print money which will result in a revolution. Obviously, you know which path they've chosen.

Of course, the real solution is to both not print money and not have austerity programs. The only problem with this program is that it doesn't preserve capitalism, and that's too much for the American ruling class to bear.

Of course it won't work Mr Newsbot, a couple of days ago an MDC politician was arrested for "treason". Hardly the sign of a democratic and willing government is it.
