<\/p>\nRUSH: Speaking of Cuba, I happen to have a story here from the Wall Street Journal in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers: “Cuba Ration Lines Grow Tense as Economy Flails.” But the people there are not gonna overthrow anybody. They don\u2019t have any means to do so and they\u2019re too hungry! They don\u2019t even have the energy to do it! This is socialism on crack! Cuba is now breeding ostriches to feed the starving masses. Cuba now is telling its people that the “steaks,” quote-unquote, that they buy are delicious and nutritious.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
They\u2019re actually made of dried grapefruit, folks. The Cuban government is telling its people that the “steaks” — and I don\u2019t know where they go to buy these, but they\u2019re telling them they\u2019re steaks and they\u2019re actually dried grapefruit rinds. For people that figure it out, the Cuban agriculture commissioner is encouraging people to eat rodents. He says they taste better than beef anyway. With all this going on, the government is rationing food. There\u2019s a quote from a Cuban person\/citizen here: “They treat us like cockroaches. They step on us.”<\/p>\n
It\u2019s woman on the line, referring to Cuba\u2019s ruling establishment. She said that she been waiting for about two hours. “Everything in Cuba is political, even the chicken. They have everything, and we suffer.” She\u2019s talking about the Cuban government. The headline of the story is: “Cuba Ration Lines Grow Tense as Economy Flails.” That\u2019s a misleading headline. The Cuban economy has never succeeded. It\u2019s been a socialist-communist economy ever since the “revolucion,” 1959. “Cuba Ration Lines Grow Tense as Economy” Continues to Flail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
