Reply #179: Oh yea, buying up entire neighborhoods in Berlin...

...because the dollar is soooooooo strong right now, it's a great investment, huh? I live in Europe, so I can tell you a few things about buying property here. But ok, I'll entertain your argument. Buying property for investment purposes is akin to escaping political persecution how? If it we had never placed an embargo on Cuba, Cuba would still be a communist country, and Castro would still be King turd on shit mountain. But, America is just one country. Spain has flights from Madrid to Havana daily. Europe pumps millions upon millions of dollars into Cuba's economy each year. Where does all the money go? I'll tell you. It goes to keep Castro in power, and to pay for those bloated social programs that fail miserably. Much like the ones Chavez will put in place in Venezuela. Cuba's economic woes have much more to do with the collapse of the Soviet Union and their preferential trading status with it, than anything America did. Now, having said that, I've argued many times we should lift the embargo, but the facts you present don't add up. Oh wait, you didn't present any facts. Sorry, I forgot.
