Inflation is out of controland there is what could only be described as gladiatorial battles to get the most basic supplies at the supermarkets. Energy shortages have led to rolling blackouts. Toilet paper is now a luxury item. Access to medicine has been a nightmare, with the countrys entire hospital system operating in deplorable conditions. Its so bad that some places dont have gloves or soap. Of course, many Venezuelans have resorted to looting to survive.

Why is it always toilet paper that gets hit first?

Truer words, my friend.
Has anyone else noticed the complete blackout on Venezuela from our so-called mainstream media? They do not want to bus to see the end result of Obama/Hillary’s plans for our country.

Our modern liberals will just explain this away as “This is how things work”.
If shutting down the opposition means killing a few people then that is what the people want.
After all, the government is run by people too.

Hope the socialists are proud of their coveting selves.

Why doesn’t the public stage a mass revolt and just start shooting the fools in charge?
Oh, right..no 2nd Amendment rights there.

It took the socialists sixteen years to completely destroy Venezuela’s economy; just think of what they could have accomplished if “only the right people had been in charge”.

Socialism with its intellectuals and its high theory always fails the toilet paper test.
