Venezuelan
Meltdown
The meltdown in Venezuela’s currency is deepening as a crippling dollar shortage and a threat of oil sanctions take their toll on the economy. The black-market rate for the bolivar traded weaker than 8,700 per dollar for the first time, according to dolartoday.com on Friday, compared with the official rate of around 10 and a more widely used alternative rate of 2,757. That’s creating an illusion for foreigners observing the country’s stock market, which appears to be valued at $2.57 trillion -- bigger than Germany’s, France’s, India’s or Canada’s -- but is worth only $3 billion based on the black-market rate.

Governments
when they horrifically mismanage their economies name the true free market the
black market in attempt to cover up their gross incompetency. This is exampled by President Richard Nixon who removed the last vestige of the gold standard as temporary and blamed
unseen speculators. Then it was off to
the races as inflation soared during the 1970’s. It was only stopped by extraordinarily high
interest by Chairman Paul Volker of the Fed’s during the Reagan Administration.
Any
Venezuelan who was unsure about leaving the country and has the ability to do
so is now convinced. The mass exodus has
begun. This is the effect of
socialism/communism turning a country on the threshold of 1st world
status teeming with hope, dreams and prosperity into a 3rd world
hell hole.
