Come December they won’t get it done, then they will have to wait till after ramadan, then after that the winds will be blowing the wrong way, then the camels will be sick. It is never ending with these people. 
 

However, a lot has been happening and going on. This is just one guy saying this. It may be smoke too. It is the same with the rise in the dollar. Change the rate and then see what happens. I think it is interesting though their social security program goes into effect mid November though.
