#1 It should be obvious by now to the most rabid moonbat that Hugo the assclown is not even fit to manage a 7/11.

#2 "...allowing investors to demand the government pay them back immediately. "

And that would bother baby Hughie why?

They can demand all they want but he'll refuse to pay....then what? All out trade war? Think China would help?

#5 Chavez is also threatening to nationalize all of the banks. This loon is the poster boy for failed Latin American dictatorships. Perhaps he will make his biggest contribution by setting an example for other South American leaders to avoid. In any event, this goon really needs to get capped stat!

#7 Don't think of it as collapsing the nation's money supply. Think of it as expanding the nation's toilet paper supply.

#9 The US (and most of Central and South America) need to give this nutjob exactly what he's been fighting for - total control of his country and its economy. That means moving ALL American business elsewhere, cutting off all loans to Venezuela, demanding payment for all outstanding loans, not allow Venezuelan-flagged vessels into the United States, and literally strangling all business with the mad ~~mullah~~dictator of Caracas. Allow Venezuela to go Tango Uniform on its own, with absolutely no help, one way or the other, from the US. Let it also be a warning to other tinhorn dictators, like Evo Morales in Bolivia.
