Check Out My New Crib

Raul Castro passed his first legal decree saying that Cubans can get titles to state-owned houses soon. The decree also did away with wage limits, allowing Cuban workers to make as much as they can as an incentive for productivity. This is a step in the right direction, even though there are some restrictions still in place. The political pundits in Cuba are saying that this is the beginning of a giant housing reform throughout Cuba. I hope that this leads to a more free market economy in Cuba and a decrease in their Communist doctrine. Raul has already made some changes for the better; lets hope he keeps them up for the rest of his political career.
