Another Obama Presidential Folly

That's no misprint.  Cuban workers working for foreign companies will receive only 8% of their salaries with the Cuban government appropriating the other 92%.  

This skimming of foreign paid salaries by the Cuban government will keep the Cuban dictatorship from failing.  Foreign subsidies from other totalitarian regimes have fallen off markedly in recent years because those foreign subsidizers have, themselves, fallen on hard times.

Obama's unilateral decision to begin trade with Cuba, albeit in a limited manner, will provide an economic life preserver for Cuba, with no reciprocal advantage/s for the United States.  If it weren't for bad deals in foreign policy decisions, Obama would have no foreign policy whatsoever.

Some of the disturbing details.


IF a foreign company has the means to pay more than a Cuban company, the worker will receive the same salary as if he were working for a Cuban company, and the government will pocket the rest.

It should be clear by now that Obama's plan to open up trade with Cuba to benefit the Cuban people in a hope that this will promote greater levels of democracy, is actually worse than a pipe dream.  It will do the exact opposite as it props up one of the most egregious human rights violators in the world.  Keep in mind that Cuban government has an estimated 8,000 political dissidents held in Cuban prisons and an additional 50,000 Cubans working in 'reeducation camps' for political activities opposing the dictatorial Cuban regime of the Brothers Grimm, aka the murderous Castro brothers.

In addition to the 92% of salaries being pocketed by the Cuban government, Cuban government employment offices will charge 20% of the salary of each worker they connect to the corporation for the service of finding said corporation employees. Employees will also lose 9.09% of their salaries for “vacation time.” Read more Breitbart

Raul Castro, in his speech immediately following the release of USAID worker Alan Gross and one other unidentified American, made it abundantly clear that the Cuban government made no other promises on trade, foreign investment or any other issue. 

Final score:  Cuba 1 - USA 0.  Another Obama foreign policy failure in a long unbroken list of foreign policy failures.  Who knew that an American president could be such a consistent failure in foreign policy?
