"Unemployment averages 12.5 % , inflation is about 16% per year,and 47% of the population have earnings "below the poverty line".



The loony left are all the same.
This puffed up sucker struts all over the Axis of evil countries and Russia, wasting Venezuela's money on an arms build up, even as his people starve. And gets nothing but applause and the praise of the "we are for the poor" loony left of America.

The same will happen to Russia when oil gets back down to the $30's.

I wonder how Hugo is going to get his fingers in the pie after Castro is out of the picture.

I think they'll work out a "partnership"; then Raul Castro will get an offer he can't refuse.

He'll probably just "steal" the pie.

I think the great Hugonaut pictures himself as El Presidente de los Estados Unidos del Sudamérica.
