You Won't Believe What We Saw In Socialist Venezuela
I thought that I’d see a case of toilet paper!
Sean Penn?

Today it is a much less “white” country; like Cuba, the Creoles (those of Spanish descent) have largely evacuated, leaving behind another post-colonial poor brown/black Third World toilet.
The stories from Weimar Germany were incredible; getting paid twice a day so you could shop at lunchtime to avoid the price increases of the next few hours, prices changing on menus while you ate...
I noticed too, the two hosts are some sort of anarchists, one host said the other was an anarchist. So they have some screws loose but the video is a great learning experience.
A fellow I once worked with told me about the hyperinflation in Hungary after World War II. He said his aunt went to the store with a wheelbarrow of cash. A thief punched her out, dumped the cash on the ground, and stole the wheelbarrow!
I could absolutely believe that. Right now we’re doing the same thing at a slower pace; that is feeding the $15 minimum wage argument (the de-valued dollars buy less, but the government can’t admit that because they would have to increase payment to Social Security recipients and such).
The key part is becoming a parent, taking on that responsibility changes more liberals into conservatives that muggings. Of course they have to take up that responsibility.
======>"The Purge" Statism at it's worst <======
...and then suggest:
"It gives me the idea that the government here uses this criminality, uses this violence as a way to control the people, so the people think, 'we need more police. ..we need more government"
And to think, in 1915, one of the best investments Wall Street offered was Imperial German War Bonds for American investors.
DOn’t know if I classify a trip to Hell as a vacation.
When I was growing up, back in the 1940s, I collected stamps. One of my prizes, given to me by a neighbor, was a Weimar Germany stamp for (as I recall) 50 billion marks.
It's really shocking to realize that someone could work and save for a lifetime, and then find that his life's savings weren't enough to buy a postage stamp.
The Federal Reserve is doing the same thing to us, but not as rapidly. The end result will be the same, though.
There are right wing anarchists who come are their anarchy from extreme free market economics. There use of the term “statist” suggests that’s where they are coming from.
It’s not surprising that smart young people are anti state, the current government run dystopia is appalling. Imagine if that is all you have ever known.
That’s right; the Fed has to hide it because 1) they’d have to pay SS recipients more, and 2) they can’t have buyers of US Treasuries know the amount at maturity will buy a postage stamp.
This could be in any democrat run city like Detroit....

If Bernie wins the nomination and a REAL conservative runs against him, Venezuela has to be made front and center. Feel the Bern.
