The Government's Prayeryour post:they'd be a shithole with or without the sanctions/etc"Socialism" isn't responsible for all of Venezuela's misery; the capitalists at the IMF and Wall Street, along with their useful idiots like Trump, are ensuring another oil rich country follow in the blood-soaked footsteps of Iraq and Libya.
Bloomberg - Are you a robot?
"The worst economic crisis in modern Latin American history has gotten 'even worse' than expected as new U.S. sanctions exacerbate pain on Venezuela, according to the International Monetary Fund.
"There’s more downside risk in the region after the Trump administration slapped a de facto oil ban on Venezuela and tightened restrictions on state oil giant PDVSA, said the IMF’s Western Hemisphere Director Alejandro Werner."
..the US gave BILLIONS to Latin America----and they were still a shithole just above Africa
Between 1962 and 1967 the US supplied $1.4 billion per year to Latin America.it's the culture and history--like certain cultures in the USThe Alliance certainly failed

Alliance for Progress - Wikipedia
"In response to Kennedy’s plea, Congress voted for an initial grant of $500 million in May 1961.
"During the next 10 years, billions were spent on the Alliance, but its success was marginal and there were many reasons that the program was ultimately a failure. American congressmen were reluctant to provide funds for land redistribution programs in Latin America because they felt it smacked of socialism.
"Latin American elites directed most of the funds into pet projects that enriched themselves but did little to help the vast majority of their people.
"The Alliance certainly failed in its effort to bring democracy to Latin America: by the time the program faded away in the early-1970s, 13 governments in Latin America had been replaced by military rule."
The Alliance for Progress was another bipartisan lie the rich told in order to advance private fortunes at the expense of the public state.
how do you go from worst to worse ????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The worst economic crisis in modern Latin American history has gotten 'even worse' than expected as new U.S. sanctions exacerbate pain on Venezuela, according to the International Monetary Fund.
Well, 'worse' is a comparative adjective or adverb, describing something that is more disagreeable than something else. By comparison, 'worst' is a superlative adjective or an adverb that means something is as bad as it can get: there is nothing that can get worse.Oct 30, 2017

Maybe you should stick to watching TV?
Why do you yearn for someone to control you and lead you by the nose? This has always fascinated me that many put their faith in the state as their savior.
Our Government in D.C.,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy nanny state come
Thy mandate be done
On flyover country as it is in the coasts.
Give us this month our monthly check,
And audit us our trespasses,
As we file suit against those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into liberty,
But deliver us from ourselves.
For thine is the oligarchy,
And the power, and the glory,
Forever and ever.
Amen.
