| #4 Mugabe's solution is to control salaries and prices. i.e. keep salaries the same in hopes of stabilizing prices? |

| #3 Jackal, there is plenty of room for growth. As the supply of goods for sale approaches zero, the inflation rate should approach infinity. |

| #2 Well, I bet they can sustain that inflation rate, maybe even increase it, for quite some time. |

| #1 UN recently appointed Zimbabwe to chair an economic development panel. I shiite you not. Think about that the next time some politician demands UN Authority for anything. Zimbabwe has been selected to head a United Nations panel focused on sustainable development, despite strong objections from some Western nations. The Commission on Sustainable Development voted by secret ballot on Friday to approve the nomination of Francis Nhema, Harare's minster of environment and tourism, to head the panel. The vote was 26-21, with three abstentions. |
