The US media wants to blame Venezuela’s problems on the price of petroleum, which it is not.

The real culprit is Venezuela’s socialist dictatorship, but don’t tell the New York Times.

The oil price is the "other people's money" that Venezuela socialism no longer is able to take.

I will be in Poland next week. The shelves are overflowing with affordable goods despite the crash in oil prices. Venezuela ran out od other people’s money.
