Youtube video of him<\/a>\u00a0from 2007, beating the same dead horse.<\/p>\nBut then I realized he might not be an idiot, he might be a stealth advocate for the Zimbabwe approach to managing the national debt.\u00a0 We just re-value the dollar and we declare minimum wage is now 30 bucks an hour.\u00a0 The dollar becomes worth 1\/4 what it had been, the debt becomes manageable for another few months since it’s owed in dollars,\u00a0not real assets, and we can print as many dollars as we want.\u00a0 Viola, problem solved!\u00a0 Plus, it has the advantage of having been invented in Zimbabwe by Black people, so nobody can oppose it without being racisssss.<\/p>\n
