Earlier this year a young man in his 20’s named Daniel Di Martino tried to warn us, in a USA Today editorial. He was born and raised in Venezuela. He lived his entire life under Socialism. But he was blessed to escape to America.
He explained how it happened in Venezuela — with all the same socialist ideas and fantasies being preached by Democrats today. Free everything. Guaranteed jobs for everyone. Welfare galore. Minimum wage hikes. Massive new taxes and regulations. Government takeover of entire industries- like healthcare. Price controls. Massive money printing.
These were the downfall of Venezuela.
Today, there are no jobs in Venezuela. People live in misery. Rationed electricity. Nonstop blackouts. No running water for days on end. Shortages of diapers and toilet paper. Empty shelves at supermarkets. Four-hour lines to buy toothpaste or flour. Rampant inflation, with prices doubling every two weeks.
Di Martino’s parents earned thousands of dollars per month as professionals in 1999. By 2016, they earned less than $2 per day.
Do you understand the socialist regime in Venezuela nationalized electricity and water to make it “free.” Now no one has any.
This is where socialism leads. I haven’t mentioned the banning of free speech, jailing, and torturing of opposition politicians and protestors.
Just like Venezuela, it won’t happen overnight. But a long, tragic nightmare could begin around this time, next year.
Keep that in mind as you celebrate Trump’s booming, roaring, rockin' economy on New Year's Eve 2020.
