On this day in history

On this day in 2001, the first commercial shipment of food from the United States since 1963 arrived in Cuba. Since then, the US has become one of Cuba's top trading partners.

This leads me to two simple questions:

1. Has this trade been beneficial to the regime and Castro, Inc.?


2. Are the Cuban people better off today than they were seven years ago?

What do you guys think?
