This one is my favorite:“One piece of legislation warned ominously that those responsible for food shortages, speculation and inflationary pressure with political motives” will be sanctioned with prison sentences of up to three years.” Meaning that ain’t gonna be no more food shortages caused by the opposition through the private sector. Hahaha.. The Enabling Law and Chávez’s decrees are in accordance with the national constitution, which was passed by popular vote in 1999, Chávez’s first year in office. Many of the concepts of the constitutional reforms proposed in 2007 are present in the decreed laws, because many of them were originally written with the expectation that the reform would be approved by voters, but the laws were later changed so as to be in line with the current constitution. So i say to you that your predictions are obsolete. |

So, tell us...absolote power and a rubber stamp congress will be obsolete too? Will it matter when Chavez implements his desires for a socialist (communist) system that it will not matter what anyone says or express? What does a Congress (the majority) matter when they go along with everything Chavez wants to implement. It just does not amaze me that you continue to defend a system that you do not live under.
