World Bank: Venezuela decreased poverty
From: http://www.venezuelanalysis.com/news.php?newsno=1979
Venezuela has achieved substantial improvements in the fight against poverty. The statistical evidence that we have compiled shows that from 1995 to 2005 the number of homes under the poverty line has decreased,” stated the World Bank.

The organization said that in these years the number of homes in poverty decreased from more than 40% to 30%

It described this advance as important and stated that it is related to Venezuelans’ higher income levels and as a result of the social missions.

1. Can't be, I tell ya
Wall Street keeps telling me that. And the head of the World Bank, the vampire Wolfowitz, will tell you the same thing.

:sarcasm:

4. So much for neoliberalism
Agentina does things the IMF's way and the economy goes in the tank.

Chávez does things his way and reduces poverty.

IMF go home.
