So...

we sold all our oil before the price rocketed.

we sold all our gold before the price rocketed.

maybe we should hold onto our houses, because they're sure to increase in value. Forever. Not.

Hmmmm - seems like we've pretty much sold all the family silver. Maybe we could start selling honours and peerages - ooops - Bliar's already thought of that. Look I'm no economist, so can anyone tell me how, with so much more money leaving the country than coming in over goodness knows how many years, we are still solvent?
