    You know they're in the toilet when they take the easy out of strong-arming private business instead of swallowing the pill of cutting costs and living within their means.

    Meanwhile Venezuela itself teeters on the edge of the abyss.

    Take a country that should be one of the richest in the world, apply socialism and this is what you get.

    Which one?

    Oil prices might be a factor.

    This was news a year ago. So things are steady as she goes.

    Don't be silly. A year ago the economy was falling apart. The news is that now civil order is falling apart.
