Venezuelans wait in line outside a state-run market
in Caracas on Oct. 30, 2007 hoping for the chance to buy groceries.
"It takes a miracle to find milk."
-- Venezuelan construction worker Gustavo Arteaga, 37-year-old father-of-two, who has to take days off from work in order to spend sufficient time searching for basic food products to feed his hungry family.
The world's command economies are showing predictable signs of destroying themselves. Venezuela, despite it's oil riches, can't put milk on the table. Russia, similarly blessed with fossil fuels, is experiencing such vicious inflation that Soviet-style price controls have been imposed. And we've just discovered that Chinese factories are spewing out poison toys to the world's children.
Looks like a job for SUPER capitalism!
