The U$A has already collapsed

WhiteRaven...Did I strike a nerve? Sometimes the truth hurts. Do you actually think that Chavez is squandering more of the national wealth than the US does maintaining military bases in more than 100 countries - and what about the US cost of waging constant war (since 1991)???  
 
I agree that Chavez is not perfect, BUT at least in Venezuela 18,000 people don't die every year from lack of access to health care. You talk about 'liberty'. Yep, in the US there is liberty to die unattended on the Emergency Room floor, liberty to be homeless, liberty to work 80 hours/week and still be poor.  
 
Also, many in the US are very grateful to Chavez for his contribution of heating oil. He has been very generous. I never thought that things would get so bad in the USA that ordinary people who have worked hard all of their lives would have to accept foreign aid. Shame on the USA.
