Venezuela’s top military officials took to the airwaves on Thursday to swear their support to embattled President Nicolas Maduro after the U.S. and a dozen other nations recognized his main political rival as the rightful head of state.

A standoff is developing at the U.S. Embassy in the Venezuelan capital after a top Socialist Party official threatened to shut off electricity to the complex amid a growing power dispute in the oil-rich nation.

the oil-rich nation.

It has oil, but it's no longer rich.

I hear the U.S is talking of diverting oil revenue to the upstart. How so?

That was from the article.

I don't know how to answer your question from your statement.

What is your point? Because you really aren't making one.

He's made the point that he has no argument without your acceptance of his personal incredulity.

So socialized medicine didn't destroy the country, it was corrupt politicians.

Doesn’t corrupt politicians go hand in hand with socialism and it’s big brother communism ? So Socialism creates corrupt politicians , corrupt politicians creates socialized medicine and a failing market , which creates hyper inflation eventually , which creates collapse . Nope no retractions needed.

Good thing we don’t have corrupt politicians here.

Socialized medicine aided in the downfall. It’s a terrible practice.

Do you want to know which countries don't have socialized healthcare? I'll let you wrestle around with that for a while.

 

[hog88]

Who controls your healthcare?

Me and my insurance company.

I know which country does have a socialist government sitting on top of one of the richest oil reserves on the planet and is collapsing . That tells me all I need to know about socialism and government control of its programs .

Me and my insurance company.

The only thing you control is the money and get to choose your doctor from the approved list.

No, I get to choose about everything legally available. I can pay for most stuff even if the insurance doesn’t.

Well do that then. I wouldn't want you to think you were subsidizing anyone else. You still are, I just don't want you to think that.
