Another triumph of Socialism. Who wants to produce coffee for free? No one, same as always.

Price controls don't work? I thought they were what saved the Nixon presidency.

The day we run out of coffee or restrict caffeine intake is the day that I join the NRA and make ammo in the cellar.

Troops and inspectors have begun raiding inventories held by private companies

Message: "Coffee producers MUST produce or the government will steal from you and destroy you."

Shades of Stalin and the Kulaks.

You know, it is AMAZING how predictable the results of socialism are...yet they keep trying at it!

[yankeedame]

Troops and inspectors have begun raiding inventories held by private companies in an effort to ease the scarcity, authorities said...

Oh, well,now, that'll do it, won't it? Nothing like government search-and-siezure to guarantee a plentiful supply of something in a free market. Or any other kind of market, for that matter.

[VeniVidiVici]

This is DUmmie nirvana. Price controls, troops raiding warehouses to seize coffee and sell it below cost! Woohoo!

[KarlInOhio]

Juan Valdez Shrugged.

Venezuelan coffee sucks anyway. But I can sympathize with those deprived of that most holy libation.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Scarcity. Its a Leftist ideal.

[rightsmart]

Maybe Bush should offer to send coffee to the poor people of Venezuela!

[Rebelbase]

The day my coffee supply is threatened is the day I support US invasion of the Central and South American coffee growing regions.

Juan Valdez can serve as the puppet Governor of this area. No price is to great to secure the catylitic fluid of capitalism.
