Workers leave jobs for hours at a time searching for milk, cooking oil &#8211;even beef. The shortages come despite the fact that Venezuela\u2019s economy is &#8220;overheating&#8221; and the country is awash in record oil revenues. (They\u2019rebeing confiscated, by the way, and redistributed.)<\/p>\n<p>Government minions assign blame elsewhere. They say food shortages are the result of <emphasize>eeevil <\/emphasize>businessmen hoarding food supplies. (And George Bush!) They also blame poor people for rising demand. (And George Bush!) Andit\u2019s not that bad &#8211;they claim that the media is just exaggerating. (Except about George Bush.)<\/p>\n<p>But despite price controls setting the price of powdered milk at 6 bucks a can,the stuff sells for twice that.The black market\u2019sgrowing, supplying consumers with scarce goods&#8211; even as Hugo\u2019s government subsidizes supermarkets. Some stores are rationing foodas in Cuba and the old Soviet Union. The government\u2019sseizing food from businesses thatthey say are hoarding supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Soa new prediction, folks: <emphasize>This<\/emphasize> is just the beginning. Things are going to get a lot worse. But that won\u2019t stop American liberals running to Venezuela to kiss Hugo\u2019s ring. Or, sadly, from demanding that we embrace the same economic model&#8211; tax, confiscate, redistribute, and blame (Bush)&#8211; that causes massive human misery every time it\u2019s tried.<\/p>\n<p>By the way&#8230; Hugo &#8212; Have you seen him lately? He is <emphasize>not<\/emphasize> starving!<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: MiseryNovember 13, 2007Watch It!
