Declares LewRockwell.com : "All of this means that while the government has been artificially propping up the economy and 'stimulating' it through artificial means, peoples’ perceptions of economic life have been transformed into that which was intended by the central planners: the economic crush is over, our government cured all the problems, things are great again, go back to your old ways.

English?
ReplyDeleteYes, the language is Saramaccan, a creole of English, Portuguese, Fongbe, and other African languages, spoken in Surinam. The vocabulary is 50% English and 35% Portuguese.
