Again another great example of how problems are created in this world. Hugo Chavez was elected because at the time, Gas prices were really low, and Venezuela was spending more than they were making. So Chavez being extremely left wing, came in and won the election, so of course gas prices rise substantially when he is in power and now allows him to do what he wants in terms of his “social revolution of the 21st Century”. Seeing that I am from the country, all I can say is that if Oil were to ever fall, his “nationalization” of industries will whither like a rose in winter, and he will rape all the money that Venezuela makes and leave his people faster than anyone will ever notice. Trust me, Meat will be hard to come by, the communists are in Venezuela now. I just hope the people there realize that they want to be able to choose what they want, and not be given junk that doesn’t work, or is spoiled.

Great review! it is difficult to understand how a sugar producing country doesnt have sugar to supply the national need of the ingredient. It reminds me of what happens in Cuba, they produce many things, BUT mostly they sell it to hotels to feed the tourists or they are exported. Just Sad.
