Even Cuba is cutting back on the welfare state.

#2 I guess I shall never see my preferred vision of a weeping Fidel, kneeling on the ground, while surrounded by a group of grinning US Marines, feeding him handfuls of his beard.

#3 Castro's Cuba turns it's back on central planning, just as Obama's America embraces socialism (as it is going bankrupt).

What is wrong with this picture???!?!?!

#5 Uncle Fidel's personal health is believed to be in slow but certain decline since his infamous "fall/trip" before the Media cameras - in any case, + bro Uncle Raul may likely to stay in ruling power thru 2018.

IMO the larger picture is OWG-NWO "REGIONALISM" = CONFEDERALISM, i.e. setting up of CARIBBEAN UNION = IMPROVED PAN-AMERICAN UNION, ETC. MULTILATERAL POLITIES + espec CUBA'S NICHE IN SAME, hence the push to initiate MAJOR DOMESTIC REFORMS.

Cuba = Quba/Qaba has also always been interested [fickle] in preventing a Soviet-style National, Ideo implosion.
