While Venezuela earns record proceeds from oil exports, consumers face shortages of meat, flour and cooking oil. A devaluation would give the government more bolivars from its oil export tax receipts, helping fund Chávez's policies to provide free health care, housing and discounted food to millions of Venezuelans.
Hey, it could work!
