Fausta’s Blog » Blog Archive » Venezuela: Oil falls below $80, “Baby needs a new pair of shoes.” The Mideast worries and talks about reducing output, but the one with the most reason to worry is Hugo Chavez.

Obstructionist...but not on purpose (one assumes!) It was no surprise to see confirmed in black and white the fact that Venezuela's daily oil production has fallen by 25% since Hugo Chavez has been president. Half of the oil now produced (from a total of 2.4 million barrels/day - down from 3.2) is sold the nations that are buddies with Hugo and they pay the Venezuelan state only 30% of the actual market...
