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.

Keep an eye out on Venezuela they've had some massive anti-government protests lately which have resulted in deaths of some protesters. Today a 17 year was killed by pro-government forces if this happens too much longer it might lead to civil war.

That's not how Marxism works. The actual Marxists are the last to starve. Everyone else gets to "fair share" themselves to starvation before the Marxist goes hungry.

So those who are paid in petrodollars — opposition business people or political elites from the ruling socialist party — can afford to eat here.
"There are people for whom this is the best of times, because things are very cheap and people can go out to dinner every night," Smilde says. "The rest of the country has no chance of affording a place like this."
quote:
I ask Smilde why so many things are scarce in Venezuela right now. He blames years of price controls, subsidies and artificial currency controls.

The result, Smilde says, is the worst crisis in Venezuela's modern history.

Poorer than Haiti. Damn, didn't think that could be done in the western hemisphere.

Where's Ralph Wiggum to explain why this happened because it wasn't executed correctly?
Posted on 4/19/17 at 8:13 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
