"They keep the interest rate higher than anywhere else" It makes sense to me now, thanks. But everybody is playing some kind of game toward a political end. The US is playing and encouraging the exact opposite. Low interest rates and debt is their solution to prosperity. Talk about prosperity, last February, the US happily overspent a new world record of 113.9 billion. Projected was 115, so they are slightly under projection, which is probably bad? Message 21123370 Some of the projected figures in the above article just don't make sense to me, but I am sure it must be good news nevertheless.

Re: Anyone (naturally only whites or foreigners) who dares to criticize what is going on is called a racist. Well, actually, it might be construed as "racist" inasmuch as you insinuate that South Africa would be better off under a white rule... as if white-run countries were all paragons of good governance, sound fiscal policy and superior management. Perhaps, to alleviate your frustrations at South Africa's mismanagement, you should take a look at Argentina, Russia or Greece....
