How inflated is Venezuelan currency? So inflated that even thieves in Venezuela are refusing to steal it.
This has been reported in several media outlets such as the New York Times and Vox but a certain word is very noticebably absent in both reports. It is the S-word that dare not speak its name. One big reason it is taboo in liberal circles to associate that word with economic failure is that one Democrat candidate for president is openly an advocate of the unspoken system and most of the rest of the other candidates silently support it. We start with the New York Times story which avoids you-know-what word:

The MSM can't openly name that FAILED economic system because one of the Democrat presidential candidates openly advocates it and most of the rest of that party more quietly supports it.

To: PJ-Comix
But if he gets the nod, which i doubt, Trump or Cruz WILL make many mentions of what has happened to socialized countries.
they can play on commercials the interview were Debbie Whatshername Shill couldn’t tell the difference between dems and socialists.
do we really owe that interview to some leftwing loon on MSNBC? well, God works in mysterious ways. Chris Matthews, no?

Trump should say: If you keep election Socialists, you eventually run out of toilet paper and your currency is worthless. Although you could use the currency as toilet paper.

Bernie pines for Denmark, but it is the Venezuela model he will take us to.

They actually do use Bolivares for napkins in restaurants in Venezuela now. Cheaper than buying them.

I read a blogger from Venezuela and the stories he’s telling are no jokes. The ‘black market’ and stealing are the rage, long lines with bribes to get to the front of them are also the rage.

It’s hard for me to see Bernie Sanders as Hugo Chavez.

I hope Trump uses something like it, and keeps bashing the known failures of Socialism worldwide.

I’ve said all along, I feel sorry for Venezuela, but its good for the rest of the world to have an extant, slow-moving disaster on display that is SOCIALISM.
The world forgets very quickly, and there are many childish, stupid Americans who still believe somehow it can work.
As long as there are the likes of Bernie Sanders among us, I’m glad the disaster that is Chavista Venezuela is still around.
