No, really. I just read this bit on SayAnythingBlog, and apparently the entire nation of Cuba is set to run out of toilet paper for the rest of the year.
Mull that around a little while. When government provides goods and services, the situation gets so bad, they can't even get toilet paper for nearly half a year without an emergency being declared. Never mind the little fact that you can make paper from a readily available resource in Cuba: sugar cane. They don't even have an excuse for not making their own, really.
Nope, it's simply the fact that absent the profit motive, nobody can be bothered to get as basic a thing as toilet paper out there. Not even the prospect of a cholera epidemic brought on by poor sanitation can motivate the bureaucrats in Havana to get such a basic consumer good to store shelves.
And Comrades Pelosi, Reid, and Obama want us to give more authority over our medical care to the government.
