How inept can a ruler be?

No, I'm not thinking of George W. Bush right now. Guess which long-standing national leader uttered this infamous phrase recently:

"Where money for projects has not been found, we will print it," xxx was quoted as saying.

The answer is: Robert Mugabe of Zimbabwe. Not surprisingly, inflation in that country, currently over 4,500% a year, is going to infinity and beyond. If I were a betting man, I'd wager Mugabe's regime will collapse in less than a year.
