The AP wire reports today on the horrible conditions that prevail in Cuba:

Wonks Anonymous is no great lover of Cuban Socialism - see Land To The Peasants in this blog - but he must bow to its obvious accomplishments in the field of health care.

Maybe Obama could send a group to study the subject. Wonks Anonymous has health care experience and training in economics. He can learn Spanish.
