Until we have to pony up cash to relieve the suffering in Venezuela because of their bad luck.
Figures released by the Venezuelan Society of Pediatrics and Child Care record 110 cases of severe malnutrition in hospitals in 2016, with that figure rising in 2017 as the country’s political, economic, and humanitarian crisis continues to deepen.
From “We have to do it for the children.” to “Liquidate the Children!”
Pathetic and damnable all at once…the children should PAY with their lives for the STUPIDITY of SOCIALISTIC government.

“110 cases of severe malnutrition in hospitals in 2016”
Leftist spin: “Venezuela in the forefront of pediatric research into malnutrition”.
Remember “Zap, you’re frozen” ?

Now, it’s going to be Venezuela’s turn (again) …
“The Economic Committee of the National Constituent Assembly (ANC ) is now supposedly developing “strategies to combat high levels of inflation in Venezuela,” including a proposal for what they cryptically describe as a “functional price control system.”
The specifics haven’t been made public yet, possibly because the phrase itself is a raging contradiction: calling for a “functional price control system” is like calling for dry wetness.
Price controls have a 4,000 year-old track record of failure. As a means of fighting inflation, they’ve been tried around the world by governments of the left, right and center and they’ve failed Every. Single. Time.”

and this system of not being able to supply enough food for Venezuelans is attached at the hip to currency controls, in place for a decade or more now, how this.. I think the football term is, “piling on”.
Not to worry! I’ve got the solution to Venezuela’s economic malaise! … Ethanol. Venezuela can easily grow as much sugar cane that makes Brazil the world’s leader in ethanol production and eco-socialist role model for the world. Round-up all those unemployed mobs in the street, and FORCE them to work in the sugar cane fields … it will be just like old times when the Colonialist BIG SUGAR corporations enslaved your people. The difference being … that now YOU, Senor Maduro, get to be the Plantation owner! Why ethanol? Well … because unlike OIL … ethanol doesn’t respond to those horrible capitalist invisible hands that drove-down oil prices and crippled your Equatorial wonderland. No, ethanol is mandated and regulated by the world’s Socialist Eco-elites (your brothers in arms) who have demanded its use to “combat Global Warming”. Yes, you will be ploughing under (by men and oxen … because Caterpillar and Kubota won’t sell you any new tractors since you nationalized their Venezuelan operations) … lots of acres of food production … but, hey! You’ll have more Euros to spend on importing food and medicine. Think out of the Socialist box, Senor Maduro! Go green … and … Go $$$$ green!
The first mess to be cleaned up does not seem malnourished, from the looks of him.
Nothing a 5-year plan couldn’t solve. /sarc
Betcha ten bucks our beloved PM sends several millions of taxpayer dollars to be stolen by the Maduro regime to line their own pockets, within a week of this hitting the msm.
Maybe someone should start a march in Ottawa to “Save Venezuela”.
Will Canada get international handouts after Trump throws NAFTA out?
Yes,Canada is well loved all over the world since Harper got the boot,for our innate goodness,decency,and generosity.
Every Nation on the planet will come to our rescue,you just wait and see!
I can’t wait for the outpouring of concern when we are freezing because of liberal socialist policies, and can’t afford food or housing because of those same policies. I will not hold my breath.
