No country for old men

I was roaming around the news on the web when I was suddenly stunt by this shocking fact. We know that Indonesian policymakers are now being hustled and bustled by the year on year Inflation target of 6.5 percent. And we also now that it would become a very hard-hitting job since the year on year inflation rate on February has mounted up to 7.4 percentage points.

But the condition which I found on Zimbabwe was hilarious, it's way beyond imagination. A 100.000 percentage point of year on year Inflation rate, oh gosh. There is a massive gap between the amount of money and goods being circulated, a typical situation for a poor country but alas it is still very shocking.

This gloomy description desolately contributes to the decrease in the total well being. It was reported that the average life expectancy rate for this country is ranging only from 34-37 years old. Well then, it reminds me of an Academy award winner movie entitled "No country for Old Men"
