What does is say about a government that starves its citizens?

Front Page Magazine is running a special series on leftwing mass murders and depots of modern history. The series begins with Fidel Castro, the scourge of the Americas and special friend of Canadian Liberal Prime Ministers. This bit of Castro government trivia floored me:

Food Ration in 1842 for slaves in Cuba:

meat, chicken, fish 8 oz.
rice 4 oz.
starch 16 oz.
beans 4 oz.

Castro Government food ration since 1962

Meat, chicken, fish 2 oz.
rice 3 oz.
starch 6.5 oz.
beans 1 oz.

Take the time to read the rest and remember that the next time you are searching for a holiday getaway from the unrelenting cold, snow and slush of the Canadian winter and the cheapness of a Cuban vacation acts as a beacon to what is leftover in your wallet after your government has had its way.
