Is that the same Venezuela that gave 1 million to trump's poorly attended inauguration fund and then got access to meetings with the national security council to try and get Obama-era sanctions lifted?

Did you guys even realize that's one of the reasons they are rioting a day or so ago?

Yes, because they have no food and yet the state oil company gave trump 500,000 and then a shady Venezuelan "investor" gave another 666,000 in order to get access to NSC to try and get sanctions lifted.

Over a million into a slush fund for trump's "inauguration". Where did all that corporate cash go? It wasn't all spent on empty bleachers.

Not true. The Venezuelan people have lost an average of 20 lbs to get into better shape. Another socialist success.

Rioting because of Venezuela supposedly giving a $ million for something? That's pure nonsense.

You don't have any problem with trump selling them access to the national security council?

(When your economy is almost entirely dependent on the price of oil)

Russia has a similar problem, just not as bad, still 70% of gdp.

Once Trump brings the dollar down a little more and gets the Saudis to cut more production, they'll be doing better.

lame

Denmark, Norway, Germany.
Rich happy honest fair nations

That's what Bernie Sanders wants for us.
That's our future if we grab it.

Venezuela is our future if Trumpets have their way.

denmark, norway, and formerly germany are quite homogeneous

it is a total pipe dream for usa to be a utopia with so much dead weight

socialism seems to work better in colder climates too

The USA is incapable of utopia, but I agree the capitalist blood suckers who statistically keep all new wealth created in the USA are dead weight.

Nothing wrong with socialism, it's just that the average American (or perhaps human) is incapable of it.

We'll settle for liberal democracy with as close as possible to equal opportunity. The outcome is up to the individual, but no should should be expected to run the race naked and barefoot.

That's where we are headed. If not we will become a province of Mexico. What we did in the 50s doesn't work now.

And not one of those is a socialist country. You really should do your homework.

Nah, a hypocrite is more like a guy who complains about the president playing too much golf getting elected by idiots and then spending tax payer money every weekend at the golf resort he owns.

Suckers.

spending tax payer money every weekend at the golf


Anyone that plays golf knows that to keep a single digit handicap one must play frequently, which is why Trump plays almost every weekend.

Obama didn't play nearly as much and videos of his lousy golf swing are proof.

Unlike what Trump said, I see no problem with the president playing as frequently as possible.

At what public cost?

Freaking golf welfare.

Correct: actually a true free market economy but with a "high taxation" allocated to "safety net. I.e. instead of employer suggesting you save 3% they'll match 3% into 401k then just leaving to your own demise; rather yore basically forced to save  & similar for other things like insurance & healthcare etc etc. System works as all parties put in what's fair rather than everyone trying avoiding...Think what would have happened if after hildabest screwed Bernie in CA that Trump had asked him run as his VP and they actually worked together!!! IMHO it's the ideas of socialism but with the economic maturity needed from conservatives to make it work- unlike European socialism which is failing because to dreamy and not economically sound

And we won't be either, there is a balance.

A completely open market nearly killed us in 2008, so it's pretty obvious that's not the answer either.

Trump is getting ready to do away with the too big to fail section of Dodd-Frank. The house of cards is being constructed once again. I'm beginning to think this republican tactic is a planned strategy. They know it will end in failure, but they will reap untold fortunes before the fall and in-turn be insulated from the crash, then end up with a larger, poorer working class that is content with menial pay and longer hours.
