Maduro to set "limits on profits". Kiss Venezuela goodbye
2013-11-11
Ay-Pee. HT to weasel zippers
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is extending shortage creation price controls and will place limits on profits as he extends attempts to curb the galloping inflation that is eroding support for his rule.

Maduro made the announcement in a late-night television address Sunday in which he also vowed to step up inspections of businesses selling shoes, clothing, automobiles and other goods to make sure they aren't gouging consumers.

"We can't just close the businesses; the owners have to go to jail," Maduro said in an impassioned speech in which he cited Jewish, Muslim and Christian texts to harangue businessmen he accuses of usury. "We can't allow our hard currency to be used to rob people through the sale of these goods."

#2  Stand back, Economic Creationism at work. The 'red' star stage when it start consuming the last of its fusionable resources, just before it blows itself apart or imploding to a dark cinder of its former self.
