The Nation will not get away if he continues on this path. The ideas and values of the Revolution are very beautiful, I think the Revolution and the meaning she wanted to give inputs it has had, the progress it has. But here, now they no longer work. This is not - no longer - a socialist revolution.
young Cubans today want only one thing: leave, leave. Explain how a doctor to live decently, to work as a taxi driver during the night after his day job? Someone who opens doors in a hotel earns 15 times more than a university professor, a surgeon, an engineer? The problem is that many people do not even know how to live. With an average wage (about $ 20), it takes one week, two by pressing the belt. Rationing of food basis by the state is not sufficient in quantity, to cover basic needs. Medicine and free education? all that is in crisis. There is a lack of teachers in schools, we need doctors and equipment in hospitals. If you have appendicitis, we treat you with the best health professionals, you will be released in one hour, you do not will pay a penny. Indeed. But if you're sick of a disease that lasts, if you need regular medical care, you're wrong bar. The worst off are the elderly. With 250 Cuban pesos pension (around $ 12), how do you make it if you do not have someone that helps you? You can not take taxis at night. And housing conditions and health care are far from ideal.
blockade? Crisis? Hurricanes? Yes, the blockade, yes, the crisis, yes, hurricanes. But also, importantly, the Cuban economy in itself, the Cuban economic model. This year, we had the best crop of tomatoes of all time. Half remained to rot in the fields. Why? by lack of funds! Because a state can not take care of everything from all businesses, the whole economy. Because there simply was not ready and sufficient infrastructure available to produce a surplus of funds. Raul is pragmatic, he talks less than Fidel. If allowed, coaching and the regulating, private initiative in Cuba by Cubans, applying a tax to businesses very hard to get an income and avoid the loss of control, there would crates for tomatoes.
agreements with Venezuela? This gives the oil. But doctors who are sent there often remain.
past decade, an improvement? no, not really. A wage raises. But a disastrous deterioration of infrastructure services.
"La cosa está candela "(the situation is terrible).
