And you add what to the post? My daughters college dorm mate went to Cuba
to visit family. Is legal for US citizens to travel for family visits.
She
said she kissed the ground when she returned to the states. The poor have
it so bad in Cuba, she cried.

Bill, are there no poor in the good old USA? Perhaps your daughters dorm
mate is from a family that is wealthy and is used to having all of the
luxuries of life. The embargo of the USA to Cuba has not permitted a lot
of the luxuries that you are used to. The people of Cuba are surviving
quite well in comparison to other poor countries and Cuba is progressing.

Bill, have you been to Cuba? I have. The people have a lot better life
than the poor of the USA! No one in Cuba lives on the streets like some do
in the USA. Everyone in Cuba has a home. Everyone in Cuba has a job,
some these are good jobs and some are not. This is just like anywhere in
the USA. Your daughters college room mate could visit some of the poor in
some areas Washington DC and she would kiss the ground when she returned to
her home.
