Are you serious? Holy toledo. Why isn't Obama and the rest of the west cheering on this revolution? And condeming the violence used against the people? The hypocrisy is palpable.

Ukraine coup errrrrrrrr revolution that benefits the US and other NATO countries is good (well till they found out Putin is not giving up Crimea before we see a couple of mushroom clouds because that strategic location for all of our governments is so very valuable. ).

But supporting the hand picked successor to El Blockhead is to be cheered. Opposition to V dictator to be suppressed. Cripes this is unreal.

Venezuelans have for months been struggling to find basic consumption items including cooking oil, toilet paper, and corn flour used for the typical and ubiquitous arepas, or cornmeal pancakes.

Shoppers often have to wait several hours in lines or visit more than one store to obtain basic goods.

Businesses say the shortages are caused by currency controls that prevent them from importing raw materials and machine parts. Government leaders call them the result of a conspiracy to derail Maduro's government.

A primary driver behind inflation is the torrid expansion of the money supply that vastly outstrips the pace of economic growth. Liquidity grew 3.2 percent in the month of January alone, a figure nearly identical to that month's inflation.

In 2013, the money supply expanded nearly 70 percent.

Stupid fucking socialists.

They had a sweet economy but they managed to screw it up.

Idiots!
