The Washington Post just ran a long article title From Riches to Rags, and it's about Venezuela. Venezuela used to be one of South America's wealthiest nations, but now is one of the poorest. The Post describes how this oil rich country is Latin America's new underclass because it's buckling under the weight of Venezuela's descent into socialism. There's no food, there's no electricity, there's no money. Every day five thousand
people flee the country try to escape starvation. In the last two years, two million have fled, another two million will leave this year. Women women risk being raped and attacked by smugglers, members of the upper class, skilled professionals. They are abandoning their property, taking jobs as day laborers in other countries. But life is worse for those who
stay in Venezuela. It's also totally predictable, and I did predict it when Hugo Chavez came to power back in But our brilliant liberal elite, including Hollywood stars, praised Chabez and has chosen six us her socialist dictator, Nicholas Maduro. American liberals always celebrate socialism, just as they're doing today in the Democrat Party because they see it as total power.
Even though it fails every time it's tried, they still think it hasn't been tried by the right people with the right amount of money.
