How's the Socialism Working Out?
Not a peep in the mainstream news here about this. Over the past couple years I have befriended a couple families who managed to leave Venezuela. One got out in time, the other had to escape in the middle of the night a year ago. They even had to tell their commie relatives they might go on a vacation. The scene there was VERY 1984. It's amazing to talk to these people...
Maybe, but I doubt it.

I get no pleasure watching venezuelans wake up when the sheep in America are still feeding the Washington wolves.
"... in a rejection of free-market policies that were encouraged by the United States but failed to deliver on their promise of wider prosperity."
I think that many people, superficially, consider prosperity to include government payments to people who earn nothing. Prosperity describes the level of values produced. The socialists wish to spread those values to everybody. It has never worked and never will. Productive people, as mindful individuals, do not input their best efforts, if they know that they will be robbed. Or they escape. Socialism is a degeneration of human society very much analogous to the cancer's degeneration of living organisms.

I think they'll take the wool before they feed.
some sense. I wish more were doing so here in
the USA.
"Because we didn't see it coming it was a little bit at a time." He went from being the Secretary of the Democratic Party State Central Committee to wearing a Rush shirt and cap.
Besides being an immoral system, it just doesnt work, no matter where it has been tried.
Bad news- there is no analysis or background. No mention I could see of the price controls or other government interventions that have caused disaster.
When will socialists get it that whenever this kind of "care" is made available, it always comes at a hefty price?
We are on the same road to ruin...
By the way, it is your post so you should still be able to edit the heading.

Or were you being sarcadtic and I'm too tired to have picked up on it ? I need some coffee too ! :)
Yes l believe it was, but l don't mind absconding it for true producers that labor as hard as any union worker without the need of any collectivist arm twisting.
We deserve a day off as well. :-)
