"learn how to haggle"
http://www.elespectador.com/impreso/internacional/articuloimpreso-obamania-no-va-el-presidente-chavez

“Aprender a regatear”. Tal es la fórmula que el ministro de Agricultura y Tierras venezolano, Elías Jaua, recomienda a sus compatriotas para combatir efectivamente la inflación más elevada de América Latina.


"Learn how to haggle." such is the formula that the Agriculture and Lands ministers of Venezuela, Elias, recommended to his countrymen to effectively combat the highest inflation in Latin America.



“¿Regatea Chávez cuando se va a comprar armas a Rusia?”, preguntaba al lunes en la tarde, con indignada sorna, un ama de casa caraqueña en el curso de un programa radial de opinión.

"Does Chavez haggle when he buys arms from Russia?" asked an indignant houseife on a radio talk show.


Entre 2005 y 2006, Venezuela suscribió —sin mucho regatear—, contratos de compra de armamento ruso por más de 3.100

between 05 and 06, Venezuela agreed- without much haggling - to contracts for buying russian arms for 3.1 billion dollars.

1. What a piece of work
Ibsen Martínez barely conceals his disdain for Chávez, doesn't he? No, I suppose not.
