Wogan's World
A befuddled economist recaps the current financial crisis: - -
the banks lost all our money;     the banks stopped lending us 
money;             people are losing their jobs and so have no money 
to put in the banks so that they can lend it;      the government 
wants us to spend the money we don't have, and the banks won't lend 
it to us, because our assets have devakued since they lost our money, 
and we're out of a job.

Am I right in thinking that the Latin term for 'quantitative easing 
is "bifidus digestivum" ?
