I can't help but be impressed by your concern for the common citizen. They probably wouldn't have those issues if Exxon, BP and the rest were ripping off the country, would they? When the mega-corporations were making the profit instead of it flowing back into the country to benefit Jose Cervesa. The US trying to kill Chavez is also a concern. It may or may not have worked with the cancer, but it should rank at least with the toilet paper matter as being of interest. There is a lot of oil there, and the US should get it for the private sector. Your basic Venezuelan doesn't need anything more than he or she has, and is selfishly depriving a lot of Northern Americans and Europeans of nice cars, vacations and so on. Shouldn't be allowed to happen. Why have 17 aircraft carriers if you can't use them. After all, Venezuela has at least as man WMDs as did Iraq.

And then you should go over to Free Republic or the Standard and make the same point over there. And maybe leave us alone because we aren't responsible? And because we aren't likely to institute any silly stuff here like you see in Venezuela? Nah! …that Republicans have the same ideas as the filthy commies.

WWII wage controls are the reason health insurance got shoehorned into an employer benefit in the first place, unlike any other insurance we buy on the open market. Sorry, was I supposed to say something brainless like "oh, I guess if a Republican did it, it must have its good points?" Yes, I do.
