After paying public workers' salaries last week, the balance in cash-strapped Zimbabwe's government public account stood at just $217, Finance Minister Tendai Biti said Tuesday.
"Last week when we paid civil servants there was $217 (left) in government coffers," Biti told journalists in the capital Harare, claiming some of them had healthier bank balances than the state.
"The government finances are in paralysis state at the present moment. We are failing to meet our targets."...
Hey Zimbabwe! Look at it from the positive side. That is about $16,500,000,000,217 more then the U.S. Government is about to have when we raise our debt ceiling again! :P
(I hope every American that just read that last statement did one of these ... :shock: ...
