My wife is from there and we try to go back to visit family. With kids now it is easier to have her mom come visit us here in the States then us go there for only weeks tops. We have several cousins who were able to buy our tickets on American Airlines either for us to travel and we pay them in dollars when we get there or even a ticket for my mother in law.

I have to admit, that Brett did his homework on this and had one of the best explanations of what is happening in Venezuela with the currency issues and how it effects airlines. There is a large company there Polar that is like the Budweiser here in the states. They have beer, soft drinks, etc.

So many companies have fled to neighboring Colombia for better business and political climate. Did you hear the problems with Harina Pan?

The government shut down their competition and posted a ban on importing food. And Harina Pan is part of Polar…. Same thing for chicken, toilet paper, sugar, coffee and so on… The country is screwed, I hope I can get my fiancee out of the country as soon as possible, before the civil war starts.

I would think that you should be more immediately concerned that your fiancee escapes before something worse can happen to her. Everyday she is there is a risky gamble.

Good Luck! This blogger creates quite an eclectic and complicated explanation and apology for US Imperialism. The US wants to engulf Venezuela like they have the rest of the world into their playground and exploit their people an resources. So the US is disciplining Venezuela by making it too expensive for tourists to enter. Its a mild version of the Cuban Boycott.

Remember it is the US airline holding company investor class that are getting rich off of passengers. They are the exploiters not the Venezuelan government! Time for you to talk to your neighbors and look at the street demonstrations. Your posted opinion echos the voice of the current regime in Venezuela. Carol, Your statement only shows ignorance.

Since Chavez took power in the economy of the country has gone down the drain. Even though the price of the oil barrel has been at its highest in history, Venezuelan are experiencing empty shelves in the supermarket, no real infrastructure growth and the level of insecurity is frightful.

I am Venezuelan. I am lucky to reside in the US now, but my parents are still there. The fear of going out into the streets and fear for their financial future in this unsustainable economical crisis. If that was the case I think the US would have intervened a long time ago. There is no imperialist plot to overthrow the government, there is no US lead or Colombian infiltrates trying to propagate a coup. There are Venezuelans asking for security, food, financial stability and democracy.

These people are my mother, my father, my aunts and uncles, my aging great aunt and my young cousins. They are not imperialist, fascists or terrorist. Please inform yourself better before making statements that are false and only promote more people dying and being repressed. Also I wanted to thank all other people who have written here supporting Venezuela. My American husband refuses to go there in the current conditions.

How can I blame him when he hears it from my parents directly about how bad it is. So for those of you who were talking about cheap tourism to Venezuela: good luck!

I hope you make it back alive, with all your money and dignity. It really was, so beautiful and welcoming. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it. Daniela, It just occurred to me that fom the flavor of the comments from Carol C it just may be that 1 she may have gone to Cuba to be educated, 2 She is Cuban, 3 Currently is employed by the Venezuelan government or 4 Remains one of those Chavez fanatics who truely believes the lies, propaganda and stories generated by him and his bus driver successor.

Obviously her opinion cannot be taken seriously and her misinformation is an attempt to support the current regime.

It could be any of those possibilities. It is sad that just because Chavez called Bush the devil, then suddenly liberals thought he was great. How mistaken they are. I consider myself a liberal, and I actually happen to work in the arts, theatre to be specific ie.

This is exactly what big international investors do all the time, albeit through more official channels. By August the Venezuelan currency was worth so little that it was more prudent to use cash for toilet paper rather than buy toilet paper. The government tried to get on top of this situation by issuing a currency devaluation. He also tied the new currency to the price of oil, an economic experiment designed to show the Venezuelan economy had solid foundations.

This would help stabilise the economy overall. They had no reason to be, given the government was not addressing other issues, such as policies contributing to low productivity across the economy.

It is easy, then, to see why millions of Venezuelans responded by dealing in the black market or taking their savings, and themselves, out the country altogether. As the political crisis in the country deepens, Venezuelans will have to continue to seek ways to allow them to survive the storm any way they can.
