    Venezuela Offers Pensions to Full-Time Mothers

    I often praise Venezuela, but I must do so again: the country's new labor law (they enact one every May Day) gives housewives the right to government pensions as part of the country's quest to achieve gender parity and obliterate poverty along the road to socialism. Latin America in general has taken a more progressive and independent turn in the last 15 years or so, but Venezuela continues to lead the charge in a specifically socialistic, egalitarian direction. Present Gini coefficient data shows that Venezuela has the most equitable wealth distribution in Latin America. This new measure will only help further close that gap, to say nothing of ending a form of slave labor in that country and improving the social standing of women.

    Once again we have to hae the dream of Socialism and Communism@

    But we can in fact state that the close the wealth gap in conntries, but not by helping the poor but by takeing from those that have and spending the money so everyone but the political eliete are poor!

    Here is what we know about the policies

    http://blogs.reuters.com/breakingvie...hing-but-work/

    Poverty is still above 33% in the country

    And the gosse that was laying the golden egg (oil) is on the decline, with no forgien investors in the country, they do not have the resources for expansion of this industry. Thus production has dropped 25% from it highs!

    And the worst type of inslavement is the inslavement of the people to a tyrantical govenment that would take away the possibilty of them improving their lot in life in the name of equality!

    Has the trainwreck of socialist policies "helped the social standing of women"? I guess the goal was accomplished: the gap has closed cause everyone is $#@!ed! Clueless socialist, have you learned anything from this mess?

    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Progressives live in the now, and like to deny to obvious long-term implications of the policies they endorse.

    I was reading Drudge and saw an article about how the country is in bad shape, and I remembered reading here a few years ago that some members really loved the "progress" Venezuela was making. I decided to dig up a thread on it.

    So, how's that .gov pension working out for housewives in Venezuela?

    Is there anyone that can explain the utter failure in Venezuela, and why socialist programs like the one in the OP shouldn't be blamed?

    Venezuelan president to expand welfare health program amid economic crisis
    Aug. 22, 2016 -- Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro has vowed to expand a welfare healthcare program to all of the South American country's states by early 2017.
    The Misión Barrio Adentro, or Into the Neighborhood Mission, was created by late former President Hugo Chavez in 2003. The program seeks to provide publicly funded healthcare, including dental care, to impoverished Venezuelan communities. The program, credited for decreasing infant mortality rates, was initially praised by the World Health Organization and UNICEF but the program has waned in recent years as many of the thousands of clinics built under the program became abandoned and the medical personnel who operated within them -- mostly Cuban medics -- left.

    In a speech at the Venezuelan presidential palace, Maduro said the government still has the capacity to improve the program -- despite the crippling economic crisis the country faces. "We have made great progress in caring for children, youths and the population in general, but we could still do more, because we have resources to do so," Maduro said Saturday. "This program should be implemented as a prioritized policy to guarantee better quality of life for all Venezuelans."

    Maduro said he rejects the call to return Venezuela's healthcare system to a privately run institution. "No. No to capitalism. No to social, political and economic regression of our country," Maduro said. Venezuela is undergoing a critical economic crisis in which basic necessities including medicines and food are either in short supply or not available.

    This will probably wreck economic havoc if it hasn't already.
