Maybe Mr Trump could offer scholarships in Socialism by giving some of these proud Bernie Supporters tickets to Venezuela.

Just think of the overnight efficiency that the government is now demonstrating! What used to take an entire week takes just a scant two days now, all for the same costs! And the people are immediately benefitting from this new enhanced efficiency of their government as this will mean much more power for the people to use which would have been wasted with the old, inefficient government of last week.
HA! Take that capitalistic pigs! Let’s see you come up with overnight 150% boost in efficiency in YOUR government!

But do they get a minimum wage of $15 per hour for a forty hour workweek?
Just so Socialist Venezuela doesn’t get lonesome out on that precipice, we’ll be right behind thanks to our marvelous, Constitutional government.

“Full salaries will still be paid despite the two-day week.”
Sounds like it

There is an upside to intelligence but obviously no downside until you get to the pet rock level which the socialists are approaching.

Two day work week ? That's nothing.
Here in America, thanks to Barack Obama, millions of Americans
no longer have to worry about having a job and now enjoy a NO DAY WORK WEEK!

The Brits had a mole inside the Soviet Politburo who told them that towards the end brawls were breaking out over the production and distribution of chocolate bars and panty hose.

Socialism. Taking money from those who produce it and giving it to those who smoke pot and vote for more free money from the government, until those who produce it keel over.
Results: everybody is poor. Money loses its value. Producers leave the country. Politicians blame capitalism (which they don’t practice - how could capitalism cause their troubles?)

Ha, we’re way ahead of them. A LOT of public employees are effectively on a two-day work week here already!

Venezuela's socialist government ordered public workers on Tuesday to work a two-day week. Hold on here that's actually not a bad idea. Who knew that Venezuela would lead the way to smaller government.

Time for a return to a mantra familiar to those who suffered under socialism in Eastern Europe: “We pretend to work, they pretend to pay us”
