Arnold said 7 billion. I remember thinking it was 1% of the bailout.

Great post, I could have never contemplated latest circumstances concerning Chavez financial/social situation on the ground. I think people are also upset about the AN decree giving wide-ranging powers to Chavez which the people voted against earlier this year. I do not think we are worse off than before, now actually latest circumstances make things look better. They are talking about 50 dollar oil a possibility soon on cnbc as I write- Chavez: Look Out!
