CARACAS (Reuters) – As a harrowing economic crisis makes food scarce for millions of Venezuelans, many families cannot buy their children Christmas presents, decorate their home, or even host a holiday dinner.
The oil-rich country is suffering the third year of a recession that has sparked product shortages and galloping inflation. With a recent currency depreciation pumping up prices even higher, some parents are simply canceling Christmas.
“Last year I bought everything for my daughter,” said Dileida Palacios, a 40-year-old hairdresser dressed in black to mourn her son killed in crime-rife Venezuela a few weeks ago.
“This year I had to tell her everything is tough and Santa Claus isn’t coming.” more here
Santa couldn’t even afford the Obama-esque *surcharge* on COAL that he would have left the Venezuelan government….
A regressive liberal’s paradise! Well, only if they are sitting in the inner political circle looking down on the masses.
Detroit and many other liberal run-down cities would be right there if Hillary had 8 years to institute her Venezuela type policies.
“I could do it better.”

Boy – did we escape that certain future by the skin of our teeth!!! Every prog who tried/tries to undermine Trump’s presidency should be evacuated to Venezuela so they can experience their “utopia” first hand.
Wasn’t Chavez supposed to be a 24/7 x 365 Santa Claus?
So, Leftists, what happened there? We’re dying to know!!
Saint Chavez has replaced St. Nick!
Since Hugo did such a fine job cutting the balls off the army so he wouldn’t fear a coup maybe it’s time Colombia and Brazil to intervene and stop the population from starving to death.
I wonder if many muzzies are immigrating to South America?
It is very strange that all the millions of putrid, die hard leftists in this country haven’t moved there especially since that country won’t be celebrating Christmas!
