Afghan Government Faces Cash Crunch

Afghan Government Faces Cash Crunch. What’s the problem? Just tell Karzai to pony up all those bags of money the CIA has been flying over!

  • This is what happens to gangster gov't when they can only extort their cashflow. But don't kid yourself, we are only a couple of steps behind, & the only reason we are not there just yet is enough people still see the US dollar as having some value...for now.

    • Yep that is going to change very very soon. I remember I think it was four or five years ago when several people (I remember a model specifically) were asking to be paid in Euros not dollars. At the time I thought that was so stupid, then after some time I wondered if they knew something we didn't know and now... it all makes sense.

  • This is obviously a job for that soup-er economic gee-nee-oos Krugman. Hell, if Karzai would read the NYT regularly he'd already know all he needs to do is mint a one trillion coin or something. Shazzam! Problem solved.

    • Seriously even if you were stupid enough to think that why would you ever say it out loud? So if I send a gazillion PESO county my APT mars that will pay my rent? Incredible.

    • Don't say that too loudly, because I'm pretty sure Obama is about to unveil a three trillion dollar bill with his likness engraved on the front.

  • Karzai all ready has that cash in an offshore account, the Afghan government had better hope this years poppy crop is good.

  • He used that money for other important things like a gold brush... :-/ #ThatMoneyIsLongGoneHoney
