Venezuela Declares Another Emergency: It Has Run Out of Food

Venezuela’s opposition legislature has declared a “nutritional emergency,” proclaiming that the country simply does not have enough food to feed its population. The move comes after years of socialist rationing and shortages that forced millions to wait on lines lasting as long as six hours for a pint of milk, a bag of flour, or carton of cooking oil.
Opposition legislator Julio Borgesannounced the measure on Thursday, which would allow the legislature to push for more imports on basic food goods and inspect government-owned food companies to ensure they are meeting efficiency standards. “This will make corporations and expropriated lands produce food again, will simplify the process of national and foreign investment, and establish incentives for investors,” Borges promised.

Socialist party members are arguing that the decree goes beyond the scope of the power of the legislature and cannot override the executive decree President Nicolás Maduro put into motion in January, which declared an “economic emergency” and allowed the government to further intervene in private corporations. Venezuela’s Supreme Court extended the viability of the emergency decree this week, in a move many consider an attempt to keep the opposition legislature from asserting too much power over the food industry in Venezuela.

The problem is that no matter whether Bernie or Hillary is elected or if Trump, Rubio, or Cruz is elected this nation is going to go into a really hard recession which will occupy the new President's time and energy. All other policy changes will need to be put on hold. This recession will be really bad.

it is coming

If they are doing so fine, why do some want to move?

150 million want to move to America from their social and communist countries.
Why are we moving towards it?

How many of them are from Sweden?

It says in the link.

No it doesn't. Read your own damn link.

Only 1% want to move to Sweden and 23% want to come to America.
If it is so great why does only 1% want to move there?

Only because Sweden cut back on their social programs which both of our parties refuse to do.

BULLSHIT. Sweden is much better at taking care of their citizens than we are.

They cut back. They unlike us they balanced their budget.

I did not say anything about how much better or not better they were with their social programs.
I personally would rather have what I work for rather than giving the government 57% or so of it.
That is the basic premises of what America is all about.
Low taxes, less Federal government.

Sweden is a capitalist country. See all those products on the shelves? They were produced by private companies and corporations. The store itself is owned by a private corporation. The government takes no part in the business of supplying the population with food.

You were saying?

I want European socialism.

Then go there.

Don't have to. It's coming here bit by bit. The Age of the RWnut is ending. This is the Age of the Democratic Socialist.

We don't, we want the government to adhere to the Constitution, not find legal loopholes to get around it.

ONLY an idiot (like the O/Poster) would compare Venezuela's economy to our own.....

Venezuela's economy crashed due to CORRUPTION and the fact that the country relied just in a one source of income.....crude oil.....

Somehow, moronic right wingers "think" that mentioning Venezuela, Cuba, North Korea will make them sound like "geniuses" when deriding socialism......which only shows that they have NO idea of what socialism means...although it does confirm that they are imbeciles.

The reason it had only one source of income is the fact that it's socialist. In a capitalist country the revenue from oil would have been invested in other businesses. If you build a company down there, the government confiscates it.

Corruption is an intrinsic feature of socialism. Liberals are so smart that they cling to their imbecile belief in socialism despite being shown example after example where it failed.

They just purchased a nice motorhome to see America during the summer. As they told me, they have NEVER seen shelves stocked with so much different stuff, and at such cheap prices. (they said that 4 years ago when I 1st met them, which made them want to retire here)

Good for them......They must see us as we see Mexico or Belize......A good and cheap place to retire ...

First, leftwing turds like you claim there are no such countries, so how can you possible make that claim? The less government interferes in the economy, the better a country does economically. That's what the Heritage Index of Economic Freedom shows, and that's what history shows.

So you'tr saying the proper blend of capitalist and socialist programs is a good thing? I agree. We just went too far to the capitalist side, and need to move the other way some.
