Default Slight Problem

Due to the general strike in Venezuela, and despite the fact that they are 5th in oil exports, Venezuela is having to import gasoline from its neighbors. Its refining facilities have been shut down for weeks, squeezing exports to nil, helping our fuel prices to increase, and giving their Pres. Chavez the fits in how to solve the problem. He's such a fan of Castro, maybe he'll just gulag his opposition like Uncle Fidel does.
