According to latest official poverty line data, an average family of five needs a monthly income $35 to survive while remaining living in poverty.

Anyone said Weimar Republic aka Germany in 1919 to 1923? In 1919, one once of gold was around 400 deutchmarks... in november 1923, it was around 96 TRILLIONS.

Just wait and see in Zimbabwe it's gonna be that bad real soon.

And this reports seems to just be propaganda to make the impression that the US dollar is still strong.

Zimbabwe is sadly reflective of the majority of Africa the only difference being that the country has been free of armed conflict since Mugabe . What is even sadder I don't see there being any remedy to the problems at hand. Going from one dictator to another would be of no gain to anyone what so ever.
