the domestic issues within the nation of Venezuela is caused by socialism and it's typical of socialism. The rest of the capitalist world isn't having an issue.
Canada is largely capitalist economically speaking.
Few things:
1. No, Venezuela, like Texas, Oklahoma, and North Dakota, saw budget problems in 2015 when the global price of oil tanked. Unlike Venezuela, Texas, North Dakota, and Oklahoma all got federal bailouts so they didn't have to cut their state budgets further. Venezuela didn't have a sugar daddy like those red states did. And because, like TX, ND, and OK, Venezuela derives most of its revenue from oil, when the price drops, that naturally causes a drop in revenue.
2. So you go back and forth on how you define socialism, and it's obvious why...you need to move the goalposts because western social democracies have massive socialist components to them...and rather than say that they are socialist countries, you get around that by saying they're capitalist countries with varying degrees of democratic socialism...WHICH IS WHAT WE WANT HERE. It is incredibly impossible for you to argue that Canada's health care system is capitalist, when it is a single payer, government-run system. Which is all we are seeking to do for health care here in the US; emulate the capitalist country of Canada's socialist policies.
So that means you are dishonestly framing the opposite position of yours because your own argument and beliefs are as weak as your upper body strength.
Canada is largely capitalist economically speaking.
Largely? So they have socialist aspects to their economy, don't they? And those socialist aspects are what we've been calling for to emulate here. So you have nothing to be afraid of with Medicare for All since Canada has virtually the same system.
You don't. Ether people want what you are selling our they don't.
WRONG. You have failed here.
You make demand "go up" by putting more money in people's pockets by way of wage increases.
Demand is created by consumers with money to spend.
This is why everything you believe is a load of horseshit; because you don't know anything. You think your arrogance and insistence fills the gap in your credibility. But it doesn't. It exacerbates that gap.
