"PUERTO CABELLO, Venezuela — In the capital, water is so expensive and scarce that residents wait for hours with bottles at the side of a mountain where it trickles out onto the highway. In the countryside, sugar cane fields rot, and milk factories stand idle, even as people carry bags of money around to buy food on the black market in every city and town. And here in this port that once fed a nation, everything looks bare. Where a dozen ships once waited to enter, only four could be seen from a hilltop fort built long ago to guard against raids from the sea. No one would pillage Puerto Cabello today. There is nothing to take anymore. And it is all about to get much worse. Inflation is expected to hit 720 percent this year, the highest in the world, making Venezuela reminiscent of Zimbabwe at the start of its collapse. The price of oil, this country’s lifeblood, has collapsed to lows not seen in more than a decade."
=====================
One of the world's best examples, along with north korea, of how superb the Left is at running economies. Make sure all of you looking to vote democratic remember how "great" it is in Venezuela, who despite sitting on the world's largest oil reserves is about to completely collapse. Chavez was such an "outstanding" leader, how could this have happened...
