It surely sounds familiar
When I was reading this I could not avoid make the reference to the “Blame the speculators” trend among the Presidential candidates here:
Zimbabwe announced Wednesday that it is knocking 10 zeros off its hyper-inflated currency — a move that turns 10 billion dollars into one.

“Entrepreneurs across the board, don’t drive us further,” Mugabe warned in a nationally televised address after the currency announcement. “If you drive us even more, we will impose emergency measures. … They can be tough rules.”
I only wonder who should be more worried from the comparison - Mugabe or McCain and Obama…
