It was reported on Newsy 10/26/19, a TV network, that Our Secretary of State ordered new restrictions on the travel to Cuba, to support the people of Cuba, and to punish the Cuban Government for supporting Venezuela's Maduro.
NBC News reports 10/26/19, that "Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a letter to Transportation
Secretary Elaine Chao that the flights are being suspended indefinitely
because of Cuba's repression of its people and support for Venezuela's
President Nicolás Maduro."

I believe the second part but in no way is this helping the Cuban people, it will result in job losses for them. It will surely hurt the very people our Government pretends to care about. The same thing happens in Venezuela where extreme sanction by the US is hurting mainly the people we are, so called, concerned about.
My social issue with all this is simply this, first we increase the suffering of innocent people, and second I fail to see where in a democracy a Government can tell its free (?) people where they spend their vacations, or when they can visit their families back home. And all that only for political reasons, and not for safety reasons. Are we that far down the line on our way to a dictatorship?
I guess, the game is to bring the people of these foreign countries to the brink of starvation, so that they will get enough desperate to bring their own elected Governments down, since other dirty tricks did not work. Is this normal? No wonder that Americans are disliked all over the world, how could it be otherwise? Instead of protecting us, our Government brings us in harms way abroad.
Trump says, we should stop being the police of the world, I say, we should stop being the Bully of the world.

Let's Face It Our Nation - The USA Has Gone Mad
The very fact that our Government (past and present) has all these great amounts of money to engage in all these (past and ongoing) external wars for oil and/or regime changes, is the very proof that we are way overtaxed in our country. We are not using these great sums of tax and new debt monies to improve the human conditions of the USA, but to support these geopolitical wars around the world, for profit and wealth accumulation by some, and that is wrong in my opinion. Please refer to the charts shown near the end of this post, which clearly show that something is wrong.
People like Tulsi Gabbard, who speak out against these wasteful policies, resulting in not only money losses but more importantly, the losses of millions of lives, are attacked and framed as 'Russian Assets', for example. These 'Slanderers' hope that we, who have been brainwashed for so long, will fall for this without questioning the motives for this type of slander. I hope they are wrong with their assumption, and that we will resist this kind of character assassinations, and see it for what it is, slander pure and simple.
When living in Hawaii, I personally met and spoke with Tulsi Gabbard, at a gathering, about a local issue we had at that time, and one cannot find a nicer person to talk with than Representative Tulsi Gabbard. Our politicians in their stump speeches always talk about how much they appreciate our armed services personnel, well, by slandering one of them, they demonstrate that their appreciation is nothing but fake.
Even our so called independent media (read corporate media) is in on the character assassination, one only has to watch the biased questioning of the victim, by one of them, to understand that they are in concert with the 'Slanderer'.

My concern here is that whenever the truth tries to surface, with the help of someone, like Tulsi Gabbard, the smear campaigns are in full operation, to not only kill the truth, but also the messenger, and that to me is a social issue, and not a political one. In a true and fair democracy this must not be allowed and/or rewarded!
Now let us look at what people, like Tulsi Gabbard, are talking about. Our national debt is currently over 22 Trillion dollars.
Now let us look further into the past to appreciate the madness that is going on.
It is all about the cost of wars. - Debt per family of four (4).
Author/Source unknown.
It does not matter anymore who is in office the borrowing continues. The debt ceiling is now like a Helium filled balloon.
Can you imagine how much it costs to service 22 Trillion dollars of debt? If we, the citizens, would run our households like this, we would end up in jail. Why are these politicians still at large, free to do more damage to our nation, by placing so much debt onto our backs ($250,000 per family of four)?
