Venezuela's government has said it will turn off electricity supply in its 10 most populous states for four hours a day for at least 40 days to deal with a severe power shortage.

This really is not good. It makes the Chavez administration look like a success. Since Chavez, it been all down hill and that is not good for the country long term as they will see a socialist as their savior next election.

Odd how droughts follow collectivists around the world. North Korea had a stubborn drought too that never affected South Korea.

“I didn’t say anything when there was no rice.

I didn’t complain when there were no diapers.

I was quiet when all the toilet paper was gone.

But now I can’t even get a beer, especially a cold beer?

Viva la revolucion!!!”

If Trump is really smart, he will link Van Jones/Obama directly to Venezuela collapse and show the USA where Socialism finally ends.

Van Jones, Obama’s original point man and Green Czar was a huge supporter of Chavez and Venezuela’s move to Socialism.

Sadly too true, in the US as well - the solution to a failed massive government program is an even more massive, more expensive, government program.

Similarly, if the Federal gubmint took over the Sahara desert, within five years there would be a shortage of sand. It has/is/will always be this way.
