GOVERNMENT'S unceasing recourse to one economic destruction measure after another belatedly forces an inevitable conclusion that, albeit for some inexplicable motive, it is resolutely determined to destroy the Zimbabwean economy in its entirety.

No one can be that stupid as to resort to one catastrophic economic policy after another to the extent that the Zimbabwean Government has done over the last 11 years, unless it is with the deliberate intent to achieve a total implosion of the entirety of the economy.

With actions ranging from extreme profligacy, governmental spending being continuously at astronomic levels beyond the nation's means, to the destruction of agriculture which was the foundation of a resilient and growing economy, or the constantly intensifying regulation of the economic, stifling not only growth, but continuance of business, Government has steadfastly and progressively emaciated the economy.

If emulating N. Korea is the goal, they have done a fine job.

Actually North Korea had the smarts to print U.S. currency instead of inflate its own.

They aren’t stupid. People just don’t seem to recognize evil. It does exist. There are people in this world who have absolutely zero concern for others. In fact, they only see others as something to be exploited for personal gain.

Does anyone seriously think Zimbabwe’s leadership is suffering from this? They can and DO pretty much whatever they want so long as they have the guns. What can their victims, their fellow citizens, do about it? Without arms and the will to fight, not much.

Would you be the first to stand up and fight back, knowing that these thugs will murder not only you but your entire family?
