[404 Check: was link to http:/ / wenchwisdom. blogspot. com/ 2007/ 05/ this -just -in -where -gasoline -is -cheap. html, anchor: This blog] bathers on about cheap gasoline and subsides and paying people like President Chavez.Now lets look at a couple things, the economy of the USA with "expensive" gasoline at the pumps and the economy of Venezuela with "cheap" gasoline at the pumps (maybe 5 us cents per liter).
Now it is clear that cheap gasoline at the pumps does not equate to a vibrant economy nor does expensive gaosline equate to a desolate economy.
Besides in Venezuela the economic controls are so strict you have to show ID and provide your address for all purchases even an ice cream cone, and may not be able to take money out at the ATM in a major international airport because the ATM hasn't got any money.
