Hatillo, Puerto Rico - http://www.cubanoticiasdisidentes.com/ - Its a shame to see how such a beautiful country has been leveled to an island full of ruins. Raul and Fidel continue to hold a grip on the cuban people to the point where trying to make a living has become just a dream. A country where the basic salary is around $17.00 US dollars a month, realy it is nothing that the cuban people can do to reconstruct their country. First the need to deal with the meagre rations and then try to live on around 450 cuc a month, which is around $17.00 US, which is nothing when you consider that a bar of soap cost around $1.00 US, a roll of toilet paper $1.00 US, a tooth paste around $2.00 US, a quart of milk maybe $1.50, forget about a new pair of shoes, eye glasses, a shirt, maybe a t-shirt $2.00 US, some socks $2.oo US, forget about a new pair of jeans or slacks, forget about giving your kid a quarter for school every day, if the kids need a new notebook that could cost about $1.00 US. There are so many thing to buy on a monthly bases and to try to stretch it on a salary of $17.00 US a month is impossible.










No wonder why Cubas architectural splendors are crumbling to pieces; no money for paint, cement for constructing or forming a cement paste for reconstructing and covering areas of defects has become a thing of the past. The common people simply have no resources to reconstruct any of the deteriorating edifices or personal property. The art for inventing ways to make daily life less stressful has become a struggle of imagenable mechanics and graceful individual gift.
