Elderly Cubans Left to Struggle Under $10 Monthly Pensions

Elderly people in the communist sh*thole of Cuba are fainting in the streets and collapsing because of malnutrition and starvation. The communist economy in Cuba has been in freefall for decades, but the situation is so dire now that Cuban senior citizens are being left to survive on a pension of just $10 a month. That’s about how much it costs for a dozen eggs there. Americans should think of this as a preview of what life will be like under a Kamala Harris presidency.

Everything is rapidly falling apart in Cuba because there’s no real economy there to speak of. For every 100 working-aged adults, there are now 28 senior citizens relying on them for financial support. Since the government confiscates everything that working-aged adults make, there’s not enough to go around for the seniors, leaving them the equivalent of a paltry $10 a month to survive on.

The problem is made worse by the fact that Cuba’s birth rate has been below replacement level since the 1970s. Today, the University of Florida says there are only nine live births per 1,000 child-bearing Cuban adults each year. Living conditions under the communist regime have grown so awful that most people can’t imagine the thought of bringing new babies into the world.

Every able-bodied Cuban of working age who is able to escape the island hellhole is doing so right now. A record-high 425,000 Cuban illegal aliens crossed our southern border with Mexico in 2022 and 2023. This year, we had already had 200,000 Cuban illegals cross the border by the end of July.

The absolute misery that the Cuban people are suffering through right now is a direct result of Kamala Harris-style communism. This is exactly what is in store for America if we do not reelect Donald Trump this November.
