The joys of Bolivarian socialism

Nearly 100,000 Venezuelans surged across the Simon Bolivar Bridge to buy such exotic goods as toilet paper, cooking oil, and flour, when the socialist police state briefly opened the border crossing. The men in orange are some sort of Colombian security personnel, and at left you can see how they are funneling the Venezuelans through a corral like those at ski resorts and airports.

I wonder how long it would have taken Bernie Sanders to reduce the United States to this pathetic state?
