You know there's something wrong when the last Communist revolutionary holdout is talking like he is embracing capitalism and free market ideals more than "the leader of the free world."

Goldberg said Julia Sweig, a Cuba expert at the Council on Foreign Relations think tank in Washington who accompanied him to Havana, believed Castro's words reflected an acknowledgment that "the state has too big a role in the economic life of the country."
This in contrast to our own ever-widening governmental net, fed by our own leader's plans to “spread the wealth around.”
