Poverty rate will be above 90% by the end of 2017 according to IMF.

Let us not forget that there were PLENTY of American figures who, in the early and mid 2000s, praised the Venezuelan model, including michael moore.

Here's the sad thing: If Venezuelan refugees flood to the US, they'd probably vote democrat if they could.

That took some serious effort to unseat Haiti. Venezuela had so much potential but Chavez pushed them down a bad road.

Where's Ralph Wiggum to explain why this happened because it wasn't executed correctly?

Sad for a country with oil to be worse off than a chunk of an island in the Caribbean.

It must be frustrating to be a citizen in Venezuela pulling down 500 bucks a year and being cussed out for being 'an uncaring member of the ONE PERCENT!'
