Cuba's Bailout

Here's a few things you're not hearing from the MSM regarding travel and remittances to Cuba. Until fairly recently, the Castro regime (classified by the U.S. State Department as a state-sponsor-of terrorism, and classified by the liberal media as a victim of a "cruel U.S. embargo") was in fact enjoying a (conservatively estimated) $1 billion a year lifeline straight from the U.S., which also serves as Cuba's biggest food-supplier and 5th biggest commercial partner. The $1 billion plus bundle came in the form of cash remittances to Cuba from some of Castro's former subjects and from the spending by these former subjects upon their frequent visits to their homeland. This $1 billion in remittances approaches China's monetary infusion into Cuba...

[What's China doing pouring >1Billion $ into Cuba? A: Oil. They're using the slant-drilling technology we could be using to drill from the shore (no evil oil rigs or truely risky tanker ships) to mine oil fields in US teritorial waters. {And no doubt taking all the evironmental safety measures we would were we to do it. Right}

Our Just-Say-No Energy policy is insane and will cost us dearly.]
