How Chavez is destroying the Venezuelan Economy

That's because I don't take you seriously, Tribesman. Any other person I would have probably answered.

No you wouldn't , you are unable to because for some strange reason some people are unable to come up with anything much on Venezuela even though they really like to moan about the government ...... it must be something to do with basing their ideas on a few badly written news articles which they accept without question .
Hey look

What is even funnier is that he chimed in in this thread yet when I asked him about the food shortages in an earlier topic all he managed was errr......errrrr....they import food ....like errr.....sugar .:dizzy2:

Sure, just ask it in an intelligible way. Seriously, I don't understand what the hell his point was... and it's certainly not worth bothering to ask him to clarify.

Ah so the question was too hard was it , would you like some clarity then .
So now Ice , could you explain what the goods are , where and why there is a shortage , and what exactly is the black market in those goods ?....
Which goods are subject to the subsidised prices ? are the subsidies across the board on all those goods ? where could you buy those subsidsed goods ? why do those places not have the goods (often or for long) ? what exactly is the nature of the black market in those goods ?
Easier to understand ?
It is a policy that is seriously screwed up .
But I would expect people to actually know how it is screwed up for them to be able to say how screwed it is , and that is what is repeatedly completely lacking .

Anyhow Xiahou , any further thoughts about my response to your....

Actually, it sounds like there is plenty of short-term damage. It's just that it's been kept more or less in check by the oil dollars that Chavez keeps throwing at the problem. Things will get really ugly when their production fades or if prices drop significantly.

....or is it just that you didn't think before you wrote it ?

Same rant. :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4: :laugh4:

What a load up tripe! Many you can stop this bollocks and actually post something that doesn't suck!

I don't think that we are going anywhere useful here.

If you are genuinely interested in a discussion it might be helpful sometimes to actually bring facts on the table to further a discussion instead of just asking for others to bring the facts on the table and trying to ridicule/bait them which rather destroys discussions as we have seen over and over again.
But perhaps an actual discussion is not in everybody's interest ... a pity :no:

OTOH, if you don't like the "debating" style of others it is very simple to just ignore them instead of trying to let of steam by flaming them.
