In Venezuela, money has stopped working

[RicInOR]

What sort of twisted Democrat thinks it has ever been a school's obligation to feed students? That is the job of the parents not society in general and most particularly not schools.

I believe that was Harry. President Harry Truman. He saw how poorly fed those millions of draftees were at the start of WW2 and we got the school lunch program - 1946. It is also been a reason, that the schools continued to use full fat milk and butter - until the last 20 years or so. Milk, it makes a body fat.

50 years ago, in 66, the Black Panthers and the women's movement brought us free school breakfast.

A couple of years later the pilot for the summer food program began.

About $14 Billion for the Free Lunch & Free Breakfast programs annually. That would buy like 1 F35 aircraft.

Looks like their military is deserting big time now.

How's Socialism working for them? Oh, wait, it isn't! They "socialized" petroleum. When the bottom fell out of the Petroleum market, their economy (as shaky as it was) fell apart.

Go figure.

They keep pouring money into school programs and squander in on frivolous schemes. I can home-school a child for much less and ensure that they have more information at age 14 (when they begin High School) than anyone that has been forced into their "indoctrination centers".

So, the nation with the highest proven oil reserves in the world, and eleventh in production, has a currency that is significantly less valuable than make believe money in some video game?! Another Marxist success story!

I am so tired of the left's lame-o excuse of "not implemented right" in yet another failed Communist state. I guess it wasn't implemented right in the Soviet Union, Albania, Bulgaria, Cuba, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Mongolia, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, the Congo, Angola, and a bunch of other countries I am forgetting, too. In all of them, the economy didn't work and civil rights violations were the norm. Gee, maybe the system is just pure evil and unworkable? Nope, after a century littered with Communist state terror and eventual failure, the "progressives" think it is still worth a go.

Perhaps you are being overly critical.

He forgot Mozambique.

Socialists look best hanging from lamp posts.

Beck hits it out of the park. Hyperinflation in Venezuela means that when you get in line to buy something by the time you get to the front you no longer have enough money to pay for it. For real.
SURPRISE: Here's who will really pay for all that 'free' stuff progressives keep promising

Hell, I could have told you that!

 

[cigars]

How do you survive a socialist government? Easy... you kill those within it, and those worthless Motherbubblegummers who support it and would inflict it upon you.... that's how.

Basically a good old fashioned purge.

Smuggle in a case of Twinkies and you are set for life... I mean next week,,, I mean... dammit...

You can kinda see where its all heading in the world as the PTB get rid of cash. Once cash goes they have total control.

Just what the doctor ordered.

Put Rosie O'Donnell in downtown Caracas with a case of Hostess Twinkies before her and you could clear out the entire city in a matter of 45 minutes!

Interesting. I went into my bank on a Friday afternoon at 4 pm and wanted $ 9,000 in cash to buy a vehicle the next day. You would have thought I was getting a fortune to do some kind of a dope deal. That will take us under our normal amount. So ?? I want 9K in 100's. Thank you.

 

[Colts4me]

My bank run out of $100 bills today and would only give me $50s

Yeah. You would think they could take an example of an absolute monarchy like Saudi Arabia, not even close to a socialist government and be able to cut the Saudis oil action a bit, at least to the US anyway.
