Loan! Loan! And more Loan! Stupid Cambodian Vietcong puppet government never stops loaning!

I favor any loan spend by stupid Cambodian Vietcong puppet government will have to be paid back by the same stupid Cambodian Vietcong puppet government!

No Cambodian next generation has to pay for all these stupid loans and beside the next Cambodian generation children didn't benefit in any way from these stupid loans!

It is such a fuck up concept to spend all the loan money and make the next Cambodian generation pay for it! This is a poke in the eye for all Cambodian people!
