YES! Perhaps there is more glamor in buying a fleet of Chinese warplanes, Russian submarines and assorted heavy weaponry from both to protect and secure the national sovereignty of Venezuela from all invaders. It is certainly more politically glamorous to buy in more than a million laptops from Portugal and to send $-millions in air to Bolivia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and other points of the world compass.

But the incredibly impoverished unemployed of Venezuela's under-developed Guayana region are asking when, if ever, President Chavez and his minions are going to give their attention to their horrific plight. Cynics may say that it might all be part of a possible Chavista populist political ploy to loosen the purse strings at the elebenth hour just before November 23 local and regional elections ... but with only weeks to go, and CVG president & CEO Rodolfo Sanz' belated claim that there just ain't no money left in the kitty, it'll take quite some effort by the Izarra/Pimentel Tom & Jerry team, this time, to spinmeister their way out of this mess.
