Yes, it is true that poor government policy destroyed the Zimbabwe economy (just as poor government policy is destroying ours) and damage to the economy preceded hyperinflation. [/quote]
Anyone who compares the U.S. to Zimbabwe, Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece, and/or Spain is an idiot.[/quote]
OK…
sreeb wasn’t comparing the US to Zimbabwe or anyone else. He was pointing out that — based on the article that you yourself cited — your characterization of the cause of hyperinflation in Zimbabwe was incomplete.
Your response is to call him an idiot? For saying something that he didn’t even say, no less? Something that, had he said it, wouldn’t even be idiotic anyway (eg, we have worse debt/deficit situations than some of the countries you cited)?
