As donkey prices go up, this signal proves the rural poor agricultural producers are paying dearly to high price fuel costs.
Between the Donkey and the Politician, what is the difference in intelligence?
The consumer and poor always get kicked from behind.
The donkey is the signal of inflation in the most simple and purest form of macro and micro economic analysis.

I feel a Thesis and Analysis should be performed on the effects of micro-economic and macro-economic inflationary barometer on the Turkey and Bulgarian Donkies.
What are the affects on the poor?
What are the affects on the consumer?
What are the costs of Manurer that affect my vegetable garden or rose garden?
Where are the business schools of Bulgaria and Turkey? I need answers!
Or is it all a croc of MANURER?

Devil's Advocate,
It is all in the MANUER.
It all depends how you lump the statistics and whether the numbers are Organic.
The problem the poor population is suffering due to high costs or inflation.
The donkey is a symbol, that the politicians should not make asses of themselves.

Will the Bulgarian Government Reform its Labor Laws and include Donkies on the Parlament Agenda?
Remember, Minister of Labor, DEVELOP HUMAN CAPITAL AS A CENTERPIECE OF COUNTRY STRATEGY. Does this include the Bulgarian or Turkish Donkies?
I smell in the air the dung of the Donkies to organize a Cooperative or Union.
We need the First Bulgarian Politician to ride a Donkey on the May 1, 2009 Parade in the Nude to represent our Environment and Labor.
