Default Day in Venezuela

[GatoGordo]

16. That pre-Chavismo Venezuela was far superior to Chavista Venezuela?

You don't have to be a rocket surgeon to figure that out. While Venezuela had the same problems as many Latin American countries, it offered a Hell of a lot more than most.

Low cost public transport.
Cradle to grave healthcare.
Government education (including no cost university education)
Food and medication.

But, for the water carriers of Chavismo, all this was smoke and mirrors, I suppose. Because now, Chavismo offers:

Crumbling transportation. Few buses running. Crumbling bridges and tunnels.
Horrific healthcare (children malnourished, no doctors/nurses, no supplies, horrible facilities)
Empty schools. No teachers.
No food (people eating from garbage dumpsters is now the norm) or medication (no aspirin? Insulin? Antibiotics? Birth control?)

How is that for nostalgia?
