Letter

Advice for Obama?

I would love to see an interview in the international press--of what President Hugo Chavez would do if he were president of the USA!--that would make some great international news--we have a country where more than 100K people die from lack of housing and health care--where 10% of the houses are in foreclosure or faced with it--where people are evicted and move into their cars--and communities deal with the problem by OUTLAWING SLEEPING IN YOUR CAR--they call it "camping"!!--the poor become dispossessed and destitute --end up in the jails and prisons where the expense of torturing and punishing them for their poverty runs twice the cost of just giving them low income housing--the jails and prisons in USA are our answer to poverty---anyhow--I think a large portion of the world has respect for what Hugo is doing for the great majority of venezuelan population and it would be a wonderful bit to have him theorize about what he would do to fix the USA!!
