Overturning Cuba Travel Ban May Pass House This Year, Farr Says

Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- Legislation to end a ban on Americans traveling to Cuba has enough support in the U.S. House of Representatives to win approval by year-end, said Representative Sam Farr, a California Democrat.

I guess I could say "Atlantic City circa 1990's South".

sounds good to me. I'd love to visit Cuba, but I assume they will still make it very difficult to bring anything back with you.

If the Hog's hookers have any say in the matter, you'll bring something back with you for sure.

After 50+ years of poverty, I think it's going to be more like "Come see Cuba, Florida's very own Tijuana! Donkey shows starting at 9pm nightly!"

The rest of the world has been going there for 50 or so years. Yes our dollars will make an impact... but it isn't going to be as big of a deal as some think. We can be so egocentric.

I can promise you I will be there in the first year it is open. My family was there the last year it was.

That's very true, I think a lot of us in this thread were joking too (well, at least I was). The big change is going to happen when, and if, the country moves away from the communist economy and into more of a free-market economy.

A fixed US$12/month salary isn't much of a motivator, so when the money starts going other places besides the bank accounts of the governmental elite, that's when the changes will really happen.
