Maduro was defending his amazing economic policies and was saying that Colombia was even more expensive.
Maduro said a bottle of water costs 10 Bs in Venezuela ($1.60 or so on the official rate or Colombian 3200 pesos)
But Maduro said the same bottle of water would cost 150 Bs in Colombia or 48,000 Colombian pesos according to their official exchange rate.
He was interrupted by the governor of Táchira about the price and then said, the 10 Bs bottle of water would cost 600 Bs in Colombia (which would then be $100 official rate)
The average 350 ml bottle of water in Colombia sells for 1300 pesos or about 65 cents US. (cheaper than in Venezuela by the way)
No wonder Weisbrot still has a job with these idiots in charge.

I think having him around forces you to try to move those olive, brown, black, yellow, dingy grey fasc brain cells too fast. and it causes you headaches.

(2,186 posts)so how could I re-attack him if I've never attacked him in the first place?
Matter of fact, I could care less about him, I just provided some info to other members, got a problem with that?
As far as too much time on my hands, well, I am on my 96 hours off duty, so, in a sense, I do have too much time on my hands, and again, got a problem with that?
What causes me headaches is demagogues who resort to insults when confronted with facts.
And eating too much smoke.
