Venezuela Drifts Into New Territory: Hunger, Blackouts and Government Shutdown

CARACAS, Venezuela — The courts? Closed most days. The bureau to start a business? Same thing. The public defender’s office? That’s been converted into a food bank for government employees.

Step by step, Venezuela has been shutting down.

This country has long been accustomed to painful shortages, even of basic foods. But Venezuela keeps drifting further into uncharted territory.

This is what socialism does. Look at Venezuela.

How is Venezuela similar to the Obama administration ?




In Venezuela, " ........the food minister doesn't get what the big deal is since he has to wait in line at soccer games".....




In the USA;

  Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert McDonald on Monday compared the length of time veterans wait to receive health care at the VA to the length of time people wait for rides at Disneyland, and said his agency shouldn't use wait times as a measure of success because Disney doesn't either. 



If democrats continue in the White House, we may one day be waiting in line for food as well.

"In America, take money to store and use cart to take out food; in People's Democratic Paradise of Venezuela, take cart full of money to store to get food."
