Starvation in an OPEC country. That has GOT to be a first, What kind of a loser do you have to be to be sitting on a sea of oil and still not feed your kids? I know the price of oil has dropped, but Venezuela is around the middle of the pack when it comes to the cost of producing a barrel of oil. While not Kuwait cheap ($8.50 a barrel), Venezuela at $23.50 is lower than Nigeria ($31.60), The United States ($36.20), and Great Britain ($52.50). Sure, they aren't making money like it was when petroleum was over $100.00, but your kids are STARVING. Pump out some oil and feed them, for gosh sakes.

I frequently talk to Bernie supporters (and lets face it, Hillary is a socialist too), and I mention Venezuela, and for some reason, they can't connect the dots.

Venezuelans oil industry is in chaos. All of the senior engineers are gone and nationalization has created huge inefficiencies. Their equipment is breaking down every day.

There’s just something about the Hispanic language and culture that craves over bearing and extremely corrupt governments. Unfortunately we seem to have been infected.
