The Socialist Utopia has come to Venezuela and so has triple-digit inflation. Inflation is soaring at about 65%, murder rates are the second highest in the world, they don’t have food, chocolate,cooking oil, sugar, beer, shampoo, chicken, beef or even toilet paper. Businesses put the blame on the socialist government’s economic policies and the government blames it on everyone else.
A number of U.S. movie stars have gone to Venezuela many times to applaud their regime and compare their economy to ours. Sean Penn was one.
...
American leftists cheered the Socialist government and the social justice he forced on the people. Social justice is the mantra of both Barack Obama and Pope Francis.
...
All companies in Venezuela are governed by onerous foreign exchange and price controls. No company manages or keeps their own assets.
Oil used to pour the ground but now the socialists are in charge. They have gone from an oil-rich, average income country into a wasteland not even as productive as Ethiopia. The Socialists did it in only 16 years.
When Chavez came to power, Fox News interviewed a farmer whose land was being stolen because Chavez said he was one of the evil rich. He seemed like a very nice, gentile farmer, an older man, and his life was stolen from him. I remember him saying, “This isn’t right.” He then went through a litany of the people he employed and the people he helped. Now the people don’t have food because the government keeps seizing it from the farmers.
...
Cuba is also heavily involved in drug trafficking with Venezuela. Cuba and Venezuela have forged a close political and military alliance.

Give me liberty or better yet, give me some toilet paper. 2 ply, Double Quilted, Hypoallergenic Charmin please, I’m sensitive!
Well, Sh#t! No, Wait! DON’T! ;)
I’m sorry for the suffering of old folks and babies under Socialism, but one group will die quickly and the other just MIGHT grow up to figure it out and embrace Liberty!
Don’t be so negative, sacrifices must be made to maintain a worker’s paradise.
No food?
No toilet paper?
No $#%&!!!
Just exactly what the Dhimmicraps and “progressives” want to create here. This is what “fundamental transformation” looks like.
Yes, but they’re all equal now...
USSA is far worse.
Obami said that "we" cannot have these things like personal climate control of our thermostats, rights to drive what we would like where we would like, or eat the foods we choose to eat BECAUSE others around this world do not have this luxury.
Obama's reduction of our standard of living is a punishment by deliberate design. He's an antiAmerican commie bastard child.
No Beer? Toilet Paper?
Meet me on The Green at Concord!
Molon Labe!
Also not mentioned is the fact that in order to keep the scheme going the government borrowed a lot of money from China with their oil as collateral. They spent quite a bit of their inheritance already.
The socialists are heavily supported by the underclass, who will riot and kill rather than allow their benefits to be imperiled.
The sheeple won't notice until the shelves are actually empty. By then it will be way too late.
Cuba and Venezuela. Can’t wait for Obama to set up some new triparte agreement and bail out the communists.
They just have to learn how make air and light their food!

Send all Commie loving liberals to Venezuela, let’s see how they enjoy that Socialism garbage they want the rest of us to suffer with..let’s see how long these celebrities, media people, and the rest of the commie left enjoy not having toilet paper, they will be glad they have hands
Find VA shortage stories on sites where liberals comment, and they will place all of the blame on the US. Not a bit of this is the collectivists’ fault.
