82. That's better. Yet, Capriles is not for massive pritivization.

He thinks, for example, that giving a Venezuelan a grant to build or repair their house is a better way to spend government money rather than paying Chinese to come in and at outrageous prices, build houses. The cronyism runs deep in PSUV, with billions of dollars missing in the Fonden fund. There is direct evidence that new policies are implemented and corporations are created out of thin air to achieve a project for several times what it would cost to do it if Venezuelans did it themselves and purchased what they needed directly, except what happens is they use phantom third party corporations only for those corporation to slip off the radar.

This is why Capriles is a good candidate because he will get rid of the crony aspects. The guy is a numbers guy, he learned tax law, he knows how to balance the sheets and get rid of excess cronyism that is robbing Venezuelans blind. Venezuela has an oil country level of income but a post-disaster or warzone level of crime. It's simply unacceptable to any rational leftist.
