Under a 2-year-old law signed by President Clinton, Cuba can buy U.S. food and agriculture products as long as it pays cash up front. Castro howled about that restriction at the time, but since late last year, he has spent more than $100 million on U.S. goods, from wheat to lard to baby food. The old rogue wants a big credit line that he can put off paying forever. These dupes don't care how much the taxpayer gets socked as long as they get paid.

Yes he can BUY all he wants, just pay CASH. I guess the farmers, dairymen, meatpackers, etc don't care this "trade" will be done on the backs of the taxpayer.
