While Hugo Chavez spends millions of dollars buying Argentina’s
debt, subsidizing gasoline so that Uruguayans can go to to the beach
and now subsidizing oil so that “poor” americans, richer than 90% of
Venezuelans as measured by the images shown on TV today, all of which
are simply part of the self-promotion of Hugo Chavez, you could go
around Caracas and take dozens of sad pictures like the ones above,
despite a windfall that now tops US$ 200 billion during his seven years
in power. This from the cynic who said on 1998: ” If in three years,
there are still street kids in Venezuela, I will resign”. Well, your
resignation is well overdue!
