Is the United States following the exact same Orwellian path as Venezuela?

Submitted by Jeff Berwick, Dollar Vigilante:

Over the past few years we have watched the situation in Venezuela continually deteriorate as the country’s socialist regime led by Nicolas Maduro has helped to hyperinflate the nation into oblivion.

For Venezuelans, this runaway inflation has come with a number of awful consequences.
The situation is especially dire in Caracas where people often have to kill and eat stray animals to survive since the bread lines which stretch blocks, oftentimes run out of food.

Even now, large numbers of people continue to die in hospitals without access to medicine, or become terribly sick due to malnourishment. To make things worse, most of the citizens couldn’t escape even if they wanted to.

At least not legally.

Thousands of people are hopelessly trapped in the country because the Venezuelan government, which has a total debt burden of over $71 billion, is bankrupt. As a result, the government does not have the funds to import the materials or to buy the spare parts needed to fix their passport printing machines.

And the United States whose national debt is rapidly approaching $20 trillion, is not far behind.

In the USSA if you have an extortion bill (delinquent tax debt) that exceeds $50,000, there is a strong chance you won’t be able to get a new passport and or renew your old one. What’s more, the State Department also has the ability to rescind existing passports.

This was all made possible through the “Fixing America’s Surface Transportation” or “FAST” act, a new section (7345) added to the US tax code that is titled “Revocation or Denial of Passport in Case of Certain Tax Delinquencies.”

Of course, the only thing “fast” about this act is how quickly it stripped away American’s freedom of movement.

Since the US has become so glaringly Orwellian, it is no surprise that there has been a mass exodus of expats fleeing the country before it becomes even more oppressive.

Just take a look at the numbers.

Under O’bomber’s regime alone, there was a record 2,200% increase in the number of people who renounced their citizenship!
