The US Apes Venezuela

First the US followed Venezuela's example by raising oil royalties, now the US is nationalizing companies.

While Chavez does piddly buyouts worth only a billion here a billion there Bush goes after the big guys and leads take overs that could cost hundreds of billions of dollars (and if the U.S. economy really tanks maybe even trillions).

At least Chavez has the good sense to buy out companies that are MAKING money. Bush goes after the ones that are losing money hand over fist and about to go belly up :)

Let me guess, another critic from the U.K. or from somewhere in Europe? It is a hoot reading all the U.S. political commentary posts on this site from those across the pond.

I found the one thread about how those from the U.K. are saddened about what's taken place in their country kind of ironic given that there are several Englishmen here that want to try to antagonize Yanks into voting for more far left politicians.

Thanks, but no thanks for all the advice.
