From 1962 to 1989, the Cuban government received billions of dollars in subsidies from the Soviet Union, without any comfort going to the people of Cuba.

This is always the point that goes unanswered by those that favor lifting the embargo. WHAT makes them think that all of a sudden the Cuban gov't will go altruistic and start coughing up $$$ to the populace. Hasn't happened thus far!

Thanks for the ping, john. well said, Dario!
