160. The difference between pre-Chavez poverty and poverty today,
is that nowadays the poor in Venezuela have plenty food, eduction and healthcare where they had very little if anything of that before Chavez came to power. By that measure the poor in the US are poorer than the poor in Venezuela.
So much for "They had poverty in 99 and still have it." Yes they still have poverty, but much less so. I think it requires a certain bias to make it seem as though that does not matter.
