I bought 5 of them on e-bay five years or so ago—1/2 quadrillion dollars! Kept a couple for myself and gave the rest to to friends and relatives—made them instant multi trillionaires.
Could the Venezuelans pay off their debts with this new currency? or is there a clause that escalates the debt , too?
Or just new taxes that make up for that?
The funny thing is Hugo made a big deal a few years ago about withdrawing Venezuela's gold from vaults in Europe, and sending it back home. Does anyone think that gold is still there?
Or, better than gold, is basing their money on oil. They have the largest reserves in the world. If they weren't a socialist incompetent state, that would work just fine, and their money would be the most stable on Earth.
Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100 per cent of income so long as the people benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.

Cleaned up some of the homos?
No - they cleaned up effeminate queers. Otherwise, much of the top leadership of the party were ‘masculine’ faggots or bi.
They did a good job cleaning house of perverts when they moved in, but unfortunately they brought in as many as they killed off and replaced Bibles with Mien Kampf. God made them pay very dearly for that.
