"injecting large numbers of freshly printed notes is likely to stoke inflation, which the International Monetary Fund estimates will this year hit 720%, the world's highest rate."

This is what socialism is in real life.

I thought socialist utopias didn’t require money. Everyone just holds hands and sings kum bah yah with rainbows and flying unicorns powered by pixie dust.

Oh, good grief, no need to go to planeloads when all you have to do is this:

Never been a trillionaire before. Wonder what it's like?

A photo was posted of students and police clashing in San Cristobal, Venezuela within the hour.

Blogger Daniel Duquenal just returned to the country and posted yesterday that even his ‘black market man’ is unable to get him goods at this point.

They will be needing them as toilet paper soon.

I hope they are enjoying their try at socialism, the only government system that has failed every time it has been tried.

Unlike Capitalism, which has been a rousing success every where it has been tried, even thought it creates a bunch of rich meanies who won’t share with you

With all that inflation, they probably run out of zeros first. ;-)

As soon as the “Bolivar” hits one million to the dollar I’m going to get a few. I missed out on the Zimbabwe “dollars”.

They did run out of toilet paper didn’t they?

Unfortunately for the Venezuelans who didn’t support the communist idiots running the country toilet paper will be vastly more valuable than plane loads of worthless paper that ain’t very soft.

If Bill Gates gets his way and we all go cash less these flights would be unnecessary. Bernie could do it sitting behind a keyboard.
