I have a lot of respect for Rand Paul, as I share a lot of the libertarian views. But on The Kelly File tonight, he said that opening trade with Cuba would get rid of Cuban Communism, as it would flood the masses with capitalist treasures. He erroneously compared it to opening trade with China in the '70's, and how that was such a good thing.
What Senator Paul apparently has not noticed is a) China, after 40 years of trade with us is still communist, and b) they have amassed HUGE wealth from their one-sided trade with the U.S. - and they are using our money to build a vast war machine. And there can only be one reason for that - to become THE super power, at our expense. We are paying them to eventually destroy us.
Is that what America wants? Is that good for us?
Senator Paul might want to get his head out of the clouds long enough to actually SEE how opening trade with China has actually worked, rather than how it "appears" to have worked. Look below the surface, and check the underbelly, and I guarantee it would scare the Hell out of him.
And somehow he expects opening trade with Cuba would have the opposite effect.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result each time.
