The highest new bill will be a 20,000 bolivar note, worth 5 dollars. I guess an American could live handsomely down there on two thousand dollars. After all they would be bolivar millionaires, with 40,000,000 in the bank. /sarcasm

All kidding aside I feel very bad for the people of Venezuela, especially those who were against Hugo Chávez from the very beginning.

I also fear that it could very easily come here as well.

We are on the Path.

I have a hard time finding any sympathy for the Venezuelans. They elected that flaming butthole Chavez and celebrated all his achievements as recently as 2013.

They made their bed, now they can lie in it.

I suppose if the entire nation made a group apology and renounced socialist philosophy forever, I might change my mind. Remember, these are the same sh-theads who cheered when Chavez called Bush “the devil” on the floor of the UN.

But for now, screw ‘em.

I know some of those who were against Chavez from the beginning. They worked in one of the refineries, and were fired because they did not drink the Koolaid.
