    Just last week, I gave some money to the Salvation Army, on my way into Wal-Mart.

    I'm their God.

    • BTW before Tecu-whatever comes in and spews more lies here is a nice link on Venezuela's national oil production figures from Jan. 1973 until Nov. 2005.

      Economic time series data website and blog covering the economy, investing, finance, currency and more. Join the discussion!


      As you can see oil production was at its peak in Sep 1973 at 3406k barrels per day (bpd), declined to just 1503k bpd in May 1982, recovered to 2390k bpd by Jan of 1992, and then in 1993 the law was changed to allow foreign oil companies to invest. What happened?

      Oil production climbed almost continously and by Dec 1997, the year before Chavez took office, oil production had reached 3453k bpd. Then Chavez happened and oil production has been steadily declining ever since. By last Nov (the last statistic I could be bothered to find) production was at 2540k bpd. A decline of about 27% since Chavez took office. That's hugely important since oil makes up the bulk of Venezuela's economy.

      Those are the official statistics of the Venezuelan government and, as the previous article posted, the official statistics are questionable. In fact many oil analists don't even use them because they're off by so much.

        Glad to see some things never change.

        When you run out of arguments (was gonna say "good arguments" but caught myself before I made so grevious an error), out comes the name calling.

        Always a pleasure, Kid!

        • It's possible, Vel, that he meant it literally... as in you lied when you said you're their God 'cause you gave them money. Which was the point of your post...

          • Unlikely....even Kid has enough active brain cells to avoid taking THAT literally....

                I guess they won't run out as fast then, huh.

                  Well I didn't mean that, but that's just as obviously a lie as the other lie.

                    Running away pouting when you've been proved wrong does not constitute a victory.

                    Nor does vomiting out the same swiss cheese statements for the six thousandth time.

                    But if you count the above as the definitions of victories, then yes, I am forced to agree.

                      You have GOT to love the optimism! Way to spin it into a positive, Kid! I gotta hand it to you, you do your cause proud.

                      *shakes head*

                        Oy. It was an example to illustrate his argument. Nevermind.

                          I don't have to turn it into a positive. It already is. We got some oil fields. It's as simple as that.
