  1. That's a non-issue. The real issue is Maduro running Venezuela into the ground on his own.
    2
  2. They traded self-sufficiency for government handouts.

  3. Except Iran is not nearly as badly off.

  4. Not really. This is a product of greed, corruption, incompetence and socialists being socialist.

  5.  @texasgun2731  Exactly.
    1
  6. Which is the Venezuelan government. They're the ones who seized all of the farmland, warehouses and food production.
    1
  7. Like the Chavez family, the most wealthiest people in the country?
    1
  8. Why don't you put your money where your mouth is? Let the rich people blow 25K on a purse in peace.
    1
  9. How about tell the Venezuelan government to let the food and medical through the border?
    1
  10. Along with the Chavez family.
    1
  11. But in order to do that, you would have to be allowed to enter the country.

  12. America is not responsible for Venezuela's food policies.
    1
  13. No.
    1
  14. No. It's just Maduro's fault.
    1
  15. Exactly. And in spite of being under the very same sanctions, Iran isn't starving.

  16. In Venezuela, they run the risk of having their land and crops seized. Under socialism, doing for self is discouraged if not forbidden.
    1
  17. Venezuela's oil is unsellable due to the lack of infrastructure to refine it.
    1
  18. No. This is Venezuela's and Venezuela's problem alone. The only people who must pay is the Venezuelan government.
    1
  19. No. This is what socialism does to the people. Shortages galore.
    1
  20. Namely Venezuela preventing goods from entering.
    1
  21.  @vilimor8227  But it won't last once the money runs out and then it's right back to square 1 as the most of the needed will squander it.

  22.  @MsNooneinparticular  Venezuela already has that. It's just that the other people's money that propped it up ran out. Government handouts are not a viable or sustainable long-term solution as Venezuela just proved with the system you just happen to advocate.
    1
  23.  @userconnoly2729  Yes it did.
    1
  24.  Memcha Laishram  That's because the dictator controls all the money flow coming in and out of the country.
    1
  25. No. You can thank Hugo Chavez and Nicolas Maduro for this. Even the people in the video said it themselves. Venezuela = Latin America's Zimbabwe.
    1
  26.  @67Lucky67  Sure they are! Typical socialist excuse.
    1
  27.  Westin Taylor  LMAO
    1
  28.  @RK-ve4xp  Mostly internal.
    1
  29.  @Megasigggg  Exactly.
    1
  30. That's the result of Maduro seizing all the food and medical aid at the border.
    1
  31. @Lucy's Essence Exactly.
    1
  32.  @lifeisneverthesame910  And there you have it.
    1
  33. The free stuff.
    1
  34.  @mohammadsabah8619  No it hasn't.
    1
  35. No. It was the richest country in South America.
    1
  36. Government handouts did away with whatever self-sufficiency they had.
    1
  37. But the Middle East has far better leadership, though.
    1
  38. You can do that yourself. Leave everyone else out of this.
    1
  39. This is about Venezuela, not your society, and the problem with your idea is that government seized all of the farmland. So how exactly do you expect people to develop agriculture?
    1
  40. They already did that with Black people.
    1
  41. Why should the US feed a nation that ran out its own farmers and producers and in turn killed its own ability to feed itself?
    1
  42. In Maduro's case, pride.
    1
  43. Ask the Chavez family. I don't know.
    1
  44. In its literal form.
    1
  45. Continue blaming Maduro. He's exactly what's holding Venezuela back.
    1
  46. All that free stuff made them lazy.
