well i mean i think that the united states has played a diplomacy very aggressively for sixty years and it's not surprising that other countries including chavez's venezuela would play some of the political game back i do think that we've seen stagnant wages we see a lot of people outside the labor force and we see a lot of people dependent on state local and federal programs that are being cut here and we see that going into the cold winter here at least in large parts the united states and a cold winter in which heating and other basic costs are rising in part because of diplomatic tensions between the united states and iran around the oil producing gulf region the straits of hormuz so i do expect to see feud if you will heating issues be fairly large and i think we have another problem here which we really deep committed to low income and needy americans with increasingly aggressive and increasingly kind of cruel basic policy trajectory for a long time and that's left a lot of people quite literally out in the cold so i think we're going to see various governments do aid based politi
