That country should be a wake-up call to anyone here even thinking about trying similar policies.

Hey Bernie, I’m talkin to you!

Socialism don’t work!

congressional elections that gave the opposition a veto-proof majority

Didn't the communist thugs on the Venezuela Supreme Court take care of that 'veto proof majority' by throwing out 3 opposition legislators?

Looks like the Washington Post needs to keep up with the news.

Yep...are you watching Bernie? Better yet, are Bernie’s followers watching? The answer is probably NO!

[Venezuela is on the brink of a complete economic collapse]

Substitute ‘America’ for the first word there and you have the Obama presidency summed up in one sentence. Now, in November, we’ll have to suspend elections, mind you, to deal with the economic crisis. /OK admit that’s tinfoil

The system worked well for Hugo and his family - his daughter is now quite wealthy and I am sure the rest of his family made out like bandits.

Hope the little people enjoy what their champion did for them.

Some people are watching closely for indications of that exact scenario to play out here in the USA.

And we are not wearing tinfoil ....

And since I’ve said this before, frankly, I’ll be surprised if we get to or have elections in November without the economic time-bomb going off.

Nevertheless, I’ll admit it’s somewhat of my particular tinfoil hat. :)
