You have to love liberal economics.

Wouldnt have touched them regardless, there is no comeback for that economy, business people have fled, and the government ran it into the ground, and the bondholders pulled the pin on it, the same thing happens every time.

Nah, Maduro will be out, capitalism will be in, and bond holders will be minting money on the rubble.

To be fair, nationalizing a bunch of private industry accelerated their demise, but cons will never admit anything attached to socialism could ever be good in any case.

They should just rebrand socialist policies to "America-fuck-yeah" policies and they'll eat it up. For reference, look at Trump's tariffs on import and protectionist rethoric of domestic industry.

Yes, their policies are at fault as well, everything is multivariate but the main reason is the oil price collapse otherwise they would have continued the status quo for a longer while. Cons never bring up Norway or any European countries, they always talk about the worst case scenarios while completely ignoring their own little shit holes. Absolutely no response to Kansas or Alabama or Missisippi.

You cons never debate in good faith - you and your ilk started namecalling when I accurately pointed out that oil prices led to Venezeula's economy collapsing........

You mean like this your entry to the thread?

If you could take a supplement a day to improve nutrient uptake and prevent diseases, why not take 100 a day and become Superman?

If you could run 20 minutes a day and be fit, why not run 2 days in a row and be superfit?

If drinking 8 glasses of day keeps you healthy, why not drink 80 glasses and be a champ?

Cons = Low effort thinking

There are a multitude of countries that are dependent on oil, but why let that little factoid get in the way when constructing a narrative about venezuela while sitting around in a queer bar with your boyfriends.

If it was communism and liberalism then why haven't China and all the Scandinavian countries collapsed?

If your side's economic policies are so great, then how do you explain the red state shit holes?

LOL is not an argument.

China is more capitalist than we are, i have a buddy who went out there, and the government paid for his hotels and drove him around to factories, to encourage him to invest, thats not communism. China has been pushing further and further right for decades and thriving as a result.

Maduro is no Castro, and the economies are in very different shape. Maduro will be out by 2020....I doubt he lasts next year honestly.

Thats not true, your putting words in my mouth now, obviously we all believe in some level of socialism in the western world, so i support some degree of it, but handing every citizen 12k would be a disaster for the economy, and exGOPer was the one accusing me of not thinking about it. There is a tipping point in every economy where it becomes better to not work than to work and once you cross that threshold it goes to zero pretty quick.

Basic income policies usually come tied to a welfare program cut. The idea being those in need will more efficiently use that pay check.
