Per this article from Forbes Magazine, the economy of Venezuela has tanked so badly that implosion is an insufficient way to describe it.<\/p>\n

It appears that Mr. Maduro, an incompetent ass if there ever was one, thinks that if he separates the bolivar from the USDollar, it will restore prosperity. \u00a0 Lo siento, pendejo, but inflation is inflation and you devalued the bolivar because you’re an idiot. \u00a0It isn’t enough that the military is laundering money, is it? That’s being investigated by the US.<\/p>\n

And naturally, it’s all the fault of the US of A, not the Big Mahaffs of OPEC (Saudis) or the ‘lackluster’ oil market. \u00a0Maduro\u00a0does not know about, nor does he understand, that the bubble in the price of oil a few years ago was just that: a bubble, and like all other bubbles, it burst like a bad tire and will not reinflate.<\/p>\n

Last year, there was a news item about the Venezuelan army assisting cattle ranchers in stopping cattle rustling. \u00a0When you read that article, note that Maduro’s supporters are also going hungry now. \u00a0 Gee whiz, guys, if people are starving to death, where’s the beef?<\/p>\n
