Remember Obama’s jab at Romney in 2012 for Romney’s suggestion that Russia is a serious threat to our interests? Back then, our too-cool-for-school president said in debate to Romney, “The 1980s called; they want their foreign policy back”. Now, in a tantrum over losing an election, the Dems sound more like Romney than Mr. Too-Cool. Well, the rhetorical gambit can be used in many ways.
Watch the above video. Maduro, the president-for-life – or maybe El Comandante fits the bill – has been implementing Bernie’s economic playbook. The free-stuff economic approach is playing out in the streets, shops, and stomachs of the average Venezuelan.
In Cuba, first came the dictatorship, then came the economic ruination. In Venezuela, economic ruination arrived, then the dictatorship. I suppose that Bernie will expound criticism before cameras about Maduro’s means to achieve Bernie’s ends.
I often wonder about the academy’s (schools and colleges) delinquency in implanting economic sense in the young. People don’t seem to know the meaning of socialism or its consequences. How else to explain the popularity of Bernie, a softer (and elderly) version of Maduro?
