Default Re: Ten Reasons to Lift the Cuba Embargo

And some reasons not to - though its a bit selfish...

There will be a huge increase in demand putting pressure on production and creating potential quality problems. The prices currently paid from free trade zones is silly low compared to the government controlled (taxed) prices we will be paying. There will be incentive for the government to enforce preventing grey market sales from other countries (Tax Revenue). Once its a revenue source, enforcement gets staffed, unlike the wink wink that goes on now, fines and criminal charges get serious. Many may look back on the "prohibition years" as the golden age - price wise.

That being said, it is long overdue and the people of Cuba, and their relatives here deserve a normalization of relations and all the benfits associated with becoming a more open free market society. Castros regime needs to make the adjustments to make it happen though. At least until we nuke Iran and North Korea. (Castros latest rantings).
