PUNTO FIJO, Venezuela (Reuters) - Struggling to feed herself and her seven children, Venezuelan mother Zulay Pulgar asked a neighbor in October to take over care of her six-year-old daughter, a victim of a pummeling economic crisis.

The family lives on Pulgar's father's pension, worth $6 a month at the black market rate, in a country where prices for many basic goods are surpassing those in the United States.

"It's better that she has another family than go into prostitution, drugs or die of hunger," the 43-year-old unemployed mother said, sitting outside her dilapidated home with her five-year-old son, father and unemployed husband.

It's way past time to get rid of central governments and break things down into smaller segments where government can be dealt with. It's not helping that the Catholics are telling these people it's a sin to use any form of birth control.

This is just the beginning of what I see playing out around the world.  Just wait for it.  The bankers' dominoes have been in place for some time.

Just look at how they raised the Fed Rate yesterday.  Sure, yeah, it was only .25 of a point.  But that's just the beginning, and they even announced 3 hikes for 2017.  All based on false information.  They are setting us up for the big one. 

The "market" was crushing it after Trump won and still is.  That one little rate hike sent the market tumbling in one day.  It's a tremor for things to come and people have no effing idea the shit storm that's about to hit because we've all been lied to.
