The Washington Post just ran a long article titled from Riches to Rags and it's

an on Venezuela. Venezuela used to be one of South America's wealthiest nations but now is one

of the poorest. The post describes how this oil rich country is Latin America's new underclass

because it's buckling under the weight of Venezuela's dissent into socialism. There's no food.

There's no electricity. There's no money. Every day 5,000 people flee the country try to escape

starvation. In the last two years two million have fled another two million will leave this year.

Women, women risk being raped and attacked by smugglers members of the upper class skilled

professionals. They are abandoning their property taking jobs as day laborers in other countries

but life is worse for those who stay in Venezuela. It's also totally predictable and I did predict

it when Hugo Chavez came to power back in 1999 but our brilliant liberal elite including Hollywood

stars praised Chavez and his chosen successor socialist dictator Nicholas Maduro. American liberals

always celebrate socialism just as they're doing today in the Democrat party because they see it

as total power. Even though it fails every time it's tried they still think it hasn't been tried

by the right people with the right amount of money.
