Venezuela has adopted an unprecedented system of food rationing similar to the ration cards used in Cuba, after several months of food shortages that have caused popular discontent.
The Ministry of Nutrition announced last week that beneficiaries of the government's food distribution program would only be allowed one purchase a day. The amount of food allocated to each family would be based on a ''social study'' the government performed, it said.
According to Asdrubal Chávez, President Hugo Chávez's cousin and the coordinator for [the program], the distribution centers will now keep a registry of families shopping at each center to ensure that no home receives a ''surplus'' of staple products.
Under the new rationing system, government distribution centers will open at 8 a.m. and each customer will be given a control number that will allow him to shop for food that day. The customer will also fill out a registry card with his name, ID number and the products and quantities to be purchased.
When you control the price of food, you create huge shortages. When you control the price of health care(like Hillary wants to do) you'll create huge shortages of that too. Is that what you dumb liberals want?
Hillary, Obama, and the democrat party want to push America ever closer to this form of society, and all you people can do is fawn and drool over a black guy or a woman being CiC.....what disappointments you must be to your parents!
When government, not the free market, controls the availability of ANY good or service, you wind up like this woman. She's looking for food in Venezuela, once South America's bread basket, but it could be you looking for medicine if democrats gets elected. Hat tip to MiamiHerald.
