“The government isn’t importing enough wheat,” he said. “If you don’t have wheat, you don’t have flour, and if you don’t have flour, you don’t have bread.”

That is to logical and sensible for a socialist. For a leftist nothing is ever the governments fault.

Socialist: “When we imprison all of the bakers we will have more bread!”

You gotta give fascists and communists credit for one thing. They sure do have snazzy job titles.

“Facing a bread shortage that is spawning massive lines and souring the national mood, the Venezuelan government is responding this week by detaining bakers and seizing establishments.”

“The government is doing everything in its power to end the bread lines”

... by issuing a directive that people are no longer allowed to stand in line for bread.

Literally.

And that is how an entire country,an entire subculture is wiped off the face of the Planet.

Like it never existed.

I'm still wondering where Sean Penn and Danny Glover are now that their socialist wonderland of Venezuela is out of everything.

One of them thought Obama's relaxed restrictions to Cuba would make it a tourist paradise. I read almost every day that the initial tourism has come to a grinding halt due to the cesspool that is still communist Cuba. Also, have read that airlines are reducing their flights or eliminating them altogether.

Hey Sean and Danny and all the other socialist talking heads in Hollywood, sure the next communist or socialist experiment will get those failed systems to work. Right? It's been working so well for western Europe. Wrong.

One of the long-standing problems I've had with politicians and media pundits and now Trump, few try to discuss the merits of free enterprise and give examples of the failings of socialism. I know it's beyond most GenXers' and Millenials' intellect being taught by socialists, but there are ways to put it in grammar school terms. Maybe we need a new version of the 80's "School House Rock" for the idiot Water's World or Jay-Walking types?

It's past time to compare and contrast. We need a repeating discussion as to why capitalism/free enterprise lifts all boats and socialism sinks everyone except for the totalitarian elite.

Well at least their government making sure they don’t have to eat gmo food...............

capitalism: man does not live by bread alone.

socialism: man does not live.

Whip the bakers until morale improves.

Importing? With Venezuela’s location they should be having 2x harvests of wheat a year. Easily. There shouldn’t be a wheat shortage.
