Imagine going into a restaurant for a cup of tea.
Imagine that while you wait for your tea that every few moments a waitress comes over and says the price of that tea has just risen.
Imagine that after a while of this you poke your head in the kitchen...
Imagine a kettle of water on a stove. Imagine that it is boiling rapidly.
Imagine Henry Kissinger and George Bush looking at it.
Imaging Henry saying that, "If we remove the kettle from the fire, then the water is going to spill out of the kettle and burn us."
Imagine a cup with a few dry leaves at the bottom near the stove.
Imagine George Bush saying that the thing to do is neither move the kettle, nor increase the fire, nor decrease the fire, but rather to keep the water level the same.
Imagine the waitress finding you again and telling you the price for the tea is going up again.
Should you go for your wallet or the door?

Funny, but well-written!
The issue keeps getting complicated everyday. I guess there is no easy solution. Question is.....at what point you give up on tea and head to door!
Thank you.
I am of the opinion that when George Bush and Henry Kissinger are in the kitchen you would be wise to expect more hot water and escalating costs.
Patience is not always rewarded.
