Venezuelan socialism : How to destroy an industry ! (Hugo Chavez, economic, government)

[Wonderful Jellal]

SOMETHING is rotten in the state of Venezuela: over 2,300 container-loads (and counting) of decomposing food, imported by the government last year and never distributed. The scandal is particularly embarrassing for President Hugo Chávez, since it comes amid growing shortages of basic foodstuffs in state-run grocery chains. But rather than rethink his statist food and agriculture policy, the president has declared “economic war” on the private sector.

I'm just waiting for the libbies to come in here and defend Hugo Chavez. They always say communism aka socialism never worked because the US keeps putting sanctions on communist countries!

Oh wait ...there are no sanctions right now on Venezula.

I wonder what their new excuse will be.
