* vast natural resources
* corrupt culture
* socialist/populist politicians
* southern Europe/ethnic party time culture

results in

* going broke and can't provide basic services
- schools
- roads

* no economic diversification
* low income/wealth

You are correct.

It is a very good thing we cannot print our own money.

No, Venezuela is a shite hole. We just have some shitholians here and temporarily have a shill for a governor.
Btw, my family lived in Ven for a couple years before the Chavez takeover in 1999. It was a beautiful place whose poverty just overtook rational and logical thinking.

Tax and spend.

you know what level of taxation Louisiana needs to function as the politicians would like: 100% and then some Fed Subsidies in addition, aka, other states residents taxation!

And the voters keep voting the same clowns like Thompson & Alario in to ensure we stay at the bottom.
