Maduro is going to raise the minimum wage and revalue the currency

LINK

quote:

Ahead of a major currency overhaul on Monday, when Caracas will start issuing new banknotes after slashing five zeroes off the crippled bolivar, Maduro detailed other measures he hopes will pull Venezuela out of crisis. Those measures -- revealed in a speech to the nation late Friday -- include a massive minimum wage hike, the fifth so far this year. But analysts say the radical overhaul could only serve to make matters worse.


You can’t make this up


40% of all businesses in Venezuela have closed due to the wage hikes

quote:

Nearly 40 percent of all Venezuelan stores have closed —some of them perhaps permanently —after the government of President Nicolas Maduro increased the minimum salary by nearly 3,500 percent in one fell swoop, according the National Council of Commerce and Services of Venezuela.

This guy was blaming socialism last week.

But to a socialst, the cure to any problem is more socialism.

BTW minimum wage hikes cause inflation.

Maduro should determine the poverty line and raise minimum wage above that, voila!

How ANY self respecting Hispanic-American can vote for Democrats/Socialism after seeing their Hispanic brethren flee and risk life and limb to get away from it is beyond me.

Things might be a bit worse but it will be EQUAL. That has to be kept in mind, EQUAL for all.

To be fair, socialism is a downward spiral so there's nothing you can do to fix it.
