Using the same economic principals as Cuba will not lead to a great economy. Goods will be cheap..but there won’t be any.

let’s see the marxists who couldn’t forcast properly would be how Jimmy Breslin might have coined it.These progenators of the new “worker’s paradise” have been off 133% on GDP for this year; revisedtheir GDP projections for next year down 60%( which IF they’re right about this, it will lead to even smalller tax receipts and higher a defict next year,OOOPS!); they’re off, at the present time,18.75% on unemployment; and 28.5% on the defict over the next 10 years. The thing about it is this doen’t include the economic cost and impact of either cap and tax or Obamacare, and we should believe their cost estimates on either of these, right? Compare the cost and impact on the budget of Medicare between now and when it was sold to us in 1965. Was a payroll tax mentioned, NO. Were the cost estimates by “government experts” projected to be 10 times what reality turned out to be? NO.Were we told that it would accrue an unfunded liability of $31 TRILLION? NO. But these economic “giants” who’ve never read a book on market economics, thta wasn’t a critique, with their plain history, thus far of not getting even close with their forcasts are to be trusted? Pardon my skepticism.
