We’re going to maintain this level of restriction to force the productive sector of the economy to increase output.

The beatings will continue until morale improves!

20 years ago Maria Esperanza predicted this would happen in her country. The destruction of society would start in Venezuela.

[Logical me]

With social and liberal government that is where we are headed. Most of our middle class has already financially hit rock bottom and only question for collapse. The middle class is America.

Trump for President.

[Pollster1]

Rewarding those who act needy and punishing those who are productive isn’t working? Who would have guessed?

[I want the USA back]

Socialism always fails, but socialists always say that to fix it, you need more socialism. (= insanity).

[Opinionated Blowhard]

We’re going to maintain this level of restriction to force the productive sector of the economy to increase output.

Force someone to increase output? Isn't that slavery? I guess it shouldn't surprise anyone that Socialism leads there.

[N. Theknow]

Bill Kristol will probably approach him to run against Trump.

[Maceman]

Venezuela would be doing great if only Chavez hadn’t died of cancer. They just have the wrong guy in charge. Too bad. Socialism almost worked out for them.

We’ve applied a very austere program,”

Never does one hear the word "austere" so much as to when they read a story about how socialism is failing in a particular country.

[Awgie]

How to destroy an economy in one word...SOCIALISM!

How to destroy a culture in in word...PROGRESSIVES!

[Flintlock]

NO beer?
NO TOILET PAPER??

..............AND HE HASEN’T LOST SUPPORT???

The entire nation without exception has to be stark staring nuts.

[Don Corleone]

Forcing him out means, filling up a couple of suitcases with negotiable bonds and giving him access to a private jet that will carry him to the tropical retirement site of his choice.

Man can live and satisfy his wants only by ceaseless labor; by the ceaseless application of his faculties to natural resources. This process is the origin of property.

But it is also true that a man may live and satisfy his wants by seizing and consuming the products of the labor of others. This process is the origin of plunder.

It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder.

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

[Road Warrior ‘04]

Had long, lost relatives who lived in Venezuela and lost everything. Met up with them in the late 70’s after the initial takeover by the communists.

Perhaps Barry and his PR man can put together a bailout package…

They’re chewing on chihuahuas in Caracas.
Kitty cat is on the menu in Caracas.
Venezuela is no place for a pet to be.

Ooooooooooh........

The socialists are eating slimy snakes.
The progressives are progressively eating parrots.
The liberals are lunching on lizards.

Oooooooooooh.......

Venezuela was going to be paradise.
But now there is no corn or beans or rice.
Now they’re eating rats and cats and mice.

Oil was their golden goose. But through nationalization and neglect the goose wasted away
