Sure he’s helped reduce poverty with his handouts but it has come at the expense of their oil infrastructure. Most of Venezuela’s oil comes from more difficult geologic structures than the $1/barrel Persian gulf oil and is more expensive to refine, it thus requires investment that Venezuela lacks the technological capability to provide. Venezuela’s oil production has been declining for the past decade now. I’d be lying if I said i didn’t feel some shudenfruede at Venezuela’s (soon to come) implosion.

Perhaps they will have the —– {sexist male organs} to stop the Obama confiscation of the auto industry – not even authorized by Congress!

If Scotus hears this case , it could also raise constitutional ? on the TARP bill and GM bankruptcy filing.
