Not enough attention and focus is being put on Venezuela in this campaign or by the media.

We know why. This is what the US would become if we go with socialism of the Marxist Democrats.

In response to a shortage, free markets adjust to provide the needed goods. Socialist markets impose rationing instead.

And don't think I'm gloating here. Heavy-handed regulation from a central authority (like DC) can turn a free market into a socialist one. It just takes longer, and is not labeled as such.

Not gonna sign in or pay to read the article, but “Dying infants, chronic power outages and empty shelves mark the world's worst-performing economy” sounds pretty ominous.

I can't help but wonder where in the article is calls for all us bleeding hearts “to have a heart” and welcome hundreds of thousands of poor refugees into this country.

Meanwhile, not a damned one of them have ever driven the back roads and hills of Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia or any of the other rural area states and seen those same children here existing much like those poor little Venezuelan babies - only not as fortunate to be a refugee.

This is Socialism/Communism, you ignorant university Leftists. Every professor who has indoctrinated our spoiled students should be sent to Venezuela to reap the results of what they’ve been teaching to our young skulls full of mush.

Enough Venezuelans believed in a unicorn infested utopia to vote for this. Not just once, but they reelected the guy responsible.

We still have to wait and see how many Americans believe in unicorns. Hopefully there are not enough to produce a socialist “utopia.”

It’s too bad that Obama’s buddy, Hugo Chavez, croaked too early. I’m sure Venezuela would be a paradise right now./s

That’s socialism. They wanted it. They got it good and hard. I only feel bad for those who knew better but couldn’t get out of the way.

This is Obama’s goal for the US. How much damage can he do for the rest of 2016 to move us toward his finish line?

Folk aren’t suffering badly until they are willing to bring a gun, a knife, or a sharp stick to the fight.

If they aren’t willing to introduce Maduro to Nikolai Ceausescu, then they must not be suffering very much.

Imagine a Present Sanders imposing wage and price controls to remedy the runaway inflation caused by massive government spending for social welfare programs and free stuff. This after tax revenues dropped because of his massive tax increases drove the rich to leave the country taking their money with them and the economy skidding to a halt due to lack of investment. America could quickly become just like Venezuela.

Venezuela’s Collapse Brings ‘Savage Suffering’

Don't like suffering? Don't follow socialism.

Root cause: socialism.
Corrective action: capitalism.
