Klaireth Díaz is a 1st-grade teacher at Elías Toro School, one of the biggest public schools in Caracas, the capital of Venezuela.

Last year, she says, attendance was painfully low. Every day, of a class of 30 children at least 10 would be absent.

“The reason was always lack of food,” she told Fox News Latino.

She said she had a student who skipped class every single Thursday and when she asked his mother about it, she explained that Thursday was the day of the week assigned to her family to buy food at government-regulated prices – which involves standing in line starting sometimes as early as 3 a.m.

When the workers own the means of production, but the government sets the price, the workers don’t work, and nobody except the government apparatchiks has any food.

With Socialism, people wait for bread.

With Capitalism, bread waits for people.

And despite all this, I’m sure a big chunk of the population believes the BS that the children are fainting and suffering because of some US boycott or Capitalist plot.

I attended El Toro High school and can attest that hunger was rampant there, mostly around 11:30 am....

” Oh how awful! My socialist policies are hurting my fellow citizens. I will resign, and allow someone more competant to run the government so we can return to prosperity,” said no socialist ever.

I’ll say it again. Bombard the country with MRE’S. Embarrass the government. Let them try calling it an act of war.

Can we assume all the effing liberal ‘Foundations - from Bill and Hillary’s to the Tide Foundation’ aren’t doing squat to help starving children? No kickbacks - no help...
