Hugo Chavez an Inheritance Venezuela Cannot Afford
Hugo Chavez an Inheritance Venezuela Cannot Afford
Venezuela is the fifth largest oil exporter in the world with the largest oil reserve at an estimated 99 Billion barrels. Was Chavez a good man? To the poor in Venezuela he was considered that. They had it made under his rein, didn't have to pay for much at all, water, food, electricity and of course gas was almost free if not free al together.
To friendly nations like Cuba and Nicaragua, it meant very cheap oil. So to many people he was a good man. He took care of the poor, but he remained their fisher and never taught them how to fish. Now he is gone and the people he setout to help may will end up the most hurt by his work.
He had a huge credit line with China, where they are in enormous debt today. And China needs help their damn selves as they have a huge shortage in food supplies, which is a way out for America, we have the food resources. But Venezuela cannot afford to continue down the path set by Hugo Chavez. The bottom line is he left serious economic problems behind him, because he was given not his but their oil away, because he was a populous.
As it may have seemed that he took care of the poor, but in reality they took care of him, by keeping him in power. But now he is gone and once the country completes its audit on the State of the Union and its books are made available to see, there will be a serious economic situation at hand.
While he helped the poor to remain in power, he took billion for himself and his family, whereby they have homes in Argentina, he had a fleet of private Jets and the list continues on and on. So while he helped the poor he received their protection in return. So I ask again was he a good man? Most certainly to the poor, for a time, but in his absence who do they now have to look up to for food, clothing and shelter?
Was he killed or was it just his time, is a question that will create a bunch of conspiracy theories. But the fact of the matter is that he is how dead and left his country in shambles. I know a lot of people are sleeping on this in the Western World, so it may seem anyway. But this is a country full of crude oil and it is needed, they are in debt up to their ears and have no value on their currency, he devalued it. Keep you eyes on this nation, because I am certain the CIA is also.
