Mr. Mugabe should be rejoicing... it's just like what happened in Germany!

Maybe in a few years we can memorialize Allen Greenspan and Ben Bernanke by putting them on our $100 Billion Dollar Federal Reserve Note.

Any idea on how to get a 100 Billion dollar Z bank note?

I would gladly trade an ever more worthless US one dollar bank note for it.

Then I could be a billionaire!

Can't happen here.

...I'm sorry, I couldn't hold a straight face while saying that. Yeah, it can happen here. Bummer.

Clinton/Greenspan for propping up bubble #1
Bush/Greenspan/Bernanke for propping up bigger badder bubble #2 instead of having a real recession to purge the excess
