If the US is going to save Cuba?
Cuba is in better shape than Puerto Rico.
GDP per capita Puerto Rico: $26k/year. GDP per capita Cuba: $7k/year.
Also, you might want actually to read John's last post on this issue to understand the discussion.
There's nothing I didn't understand about John's last post.
I think GDP per capita is a poor way to measure the well being of a territory that has not recovered from a Hurricane from 1/2 a year ago. Americans not caring is why these US citizens are struggling so much.
My snark about Puerto Rico aside, I agree that Cuba should be on its own without major reforms. Even if Cuba did reform, I'd prefer to focus on Puerto Rico (and Flint).
