Venezuela to Ration Electricity

[The Village Idiot]

Thing is, it is a self feeding disaster. as you ration energy, you reduce production, employment goes down, revenue goes down, etc. Obama and his circus clowns just don't seem to get it. Socialism, in any form has never worked.

The other thing is these nationalized companies often are hiring workers they do not need, at least on the books. Actually they are all probably political payoffs.

Good news Premier, we have no more poverty and noone is without food, water and electricity! Of course, we're the only two people left in the country

And I'm not too sure how long you'll be around either, Premier.

I say we dust off the DoI and start again....

 

Bullshit.

I refuse to cede a single acre of US soil to the socialist retards.

[DumbAss Tanker]

Still, this is the other sharpened edge of the 'Entitlement Society' sword, unless they can change the entire system of government while in power, the government that wins by exploiting the mob's selfishness will find itself out on its ass when they can't deliver on basic services and the mob turns on them.  It was grid power issues more than anything else that brought Gray Davis down.

I should note that this does not necessarily mean the successor gang of big-promising losers will necessarily be an improvement, just that (As many of the Roman Emperors learned to their cost), the allegience of the mob is very, very fickle.
