Matt,
Here is the inflation in Venezuela since the mid 90's as measured by consumer and producer prices -
Venezuela - Inflation
There is no question inflation in Venezuela is high. But, that is exactly what happens when you spend gobs of government money on infrastructure to improve the quality of life for some of the poorest people in the world. And life has been improved as a matter of fact.
Where has anybody claimed Venezuela is some utopia?
