Zim ping

[Mears]

Bring back the Brits.

Could be worse —they could instead be $115 TRILLION in the hole, after you could unfunded liabilities.

(that’s a pile of $100-bills twice as high was the WTC, btw...)

[norton]

Yeah, funny.
Except that they are planning to ask for international donations.
Just wait for Obama's next bail out.

[Vince Ferrer]

But actually, that is more than we have.

[Kenton]

Sorry. Just do not care.

[jughandle]

At least they’re in the black financially!

[Fightin Whitey]

That’s $16,500,000,000,217 more than we got.

[SeminoleCounty]

Maybe they could just put in one of those $1 Quadzillion Zimbabwe bills in the bank to cover it?

[gaijin]

Harare, Zimbabwe

[elkfersupper]

Sounds like Zimbabwe is longing for the days when it was Rhodesia

[blackdog]

Good thing they didn’t try Quantitative Easing. The $217 would be in the red, and with about seven decimal places on the end.

[himno hero]

leave it to a foreign born, foreign educated, foreign mentored, anti american indonesian muslim steeped in marxism beliefs......

let the culture go the course and yes, we will have a kenya....er zimbabwe on our plate.
