"Headed towards"?!? Venezuela is burning...Worse is that obama has the same mindset as Chavez and Maduro...
To: Caipirabob
But should not a socialist paradise have enough food for everyone?

Battling food shortages, caused by government policies
the government is rolling out a new ID system that is either a grocery loyalty card with extra muscle or the most dramatic step yet toward rationing in Venezuela, depending on who is describing it. Government in action. It's the same no matter where you go. Governments cause problems with their idiotic laws, and then rather than getting rid of the idiotic laws push more laws which of course almost always make the problesm worse.
I don't believe I've ever heard a politician ever say "our idea was fundamentally flawed, We'll have to get rid of it."
No, What they ALWAYS say is "We didn't go far enough."

Looks like they are on the same track as us.
ONLY thing you can do in life WITHOUT an ID card is VOTE.
Beginning to mean as much ‘here’ as ‘there’.
When they can’t or won’t purge rolls, take a head count and have absolutely NO accountability, ‘they’ are virtually taking the ‘voting rights’ of those that have AND EARNED them.
Deviancy Down. and Down and Down and Downer yet etc....

Great point. Seems Utopia isn't all it's cracked up to be. Perhaps the liberals can explain this to us.

Comrade!
Social Justice dictates that everyone have the same amount of everything, and anyone who diverges from that principle and complains about shortages, must suffer the consequences!

No, What they ALWAYS say is "We didn't go far enough." Or... "Not enough people heard and understood our explanation of the program(s)."

It’s just that you can’t have “too much”...
To: Caipirabob
Contrary to popular belief, price gouging is good. Price controls are bad.
To: Caipirabob
... Or the mindset of Jimmy Carter.
But this is racist. Black people in Venezuela aren’t going to be able to eat.

The way things are going, is there any doubt they will be unable to produce enough cards?
To: Caipirabob
Obama is taking notes.
Well, not really - he is too lazy to actually do it himself.
he probably has a ‘Notes Czar’ to do it for him.

They should make the cards edible. Two birds.
