He should have set it to 4 hundred Bolivars.
That way EVERYONE would be rich and the shortages just a bad dream.

You miss the point, it is a 50% raise until it starts working...

“Now in its third year of a deep recession, it is facing severe shortages of food, medicine and basic household goods. Maduro blames the crisis on a “capitalist conspiracy” backed by the United States.”
Interestingly, Obama and the Democrats basically use the same arguments and have the same solutions.

Wage and price control today, poverty tomorrow.
The U.S. is following a third-world pattern with their idiotic minimum wage. America needs to rid itself of Leftist third-world mentality that follows the world.
Let’s be the leader of the free world once again by letting freedom rain. Let the rest of the world follow us, the best country in the world.
