Hugo Chavez seizes more food to replace what he let rot

Hugo (El Diablo) Chavez is still trying very hard to run Venezuela into the ground.
After taking over more than 30% of the food market in order to provide deeply discounted food to supporters and shield them from the effects of inflation caused by government actions, the government allowed much food to rot before distribution.
Claiming that remaining food stocks in the hands of private vendors was going to be sold for illegally high prices, the government seized food in recent raids.
Some of those raided believe that the real aim is to replace food in government warehouses that was allowed to spoil.
Venezuela imports 70% of their food and has an abundance of oil.

Let them eat oil.

I hope our "leaders" miss this one

Some stories should not be read by our increasingly Socialist "leaders".
Argentina's President Kirchner has seized private pension funds to "stop corruption" after pushing pensions to invest funds in Argentina (where they can be nationalized).
With all of our local, state, and federal coffers being hurt by the poor economy (brought on by Liberal policies) it is no stretch to believe that our elected officials will see this kind of move as attractive.
