Cuba is running out of toilet paper.....
Can't they just use Cuban currency???
Cuba, in the grip of a serious economic crisis, is running short of toilet paper and may not get sufficient supplies until the end of the year, officials with state-run companies said on Friday.
Officials said they were lowering the prices of 24 basic goods to help Cubans get through the difficulties provoked in part by the global financial crisis and three destructive hurricanes that struck the island last year.
Cuba's financial reserves have been depleted by increased spending for imports and reduced export income, which has forced the communist-led government to take extraordinary measures to keep the economy afloat.
"The corporation has taken all the steps so that at the end of the year there will be an important importation of toilet paper," an official with state conglomerate Cimex said on state-run Radio Rebelde.
The shipment will enable the state-run company "to supply this demand that today is presenting problems," he said.
Cuba both imports toilet paper and produces its own, but does not currently have enough raw materials to make it, he said.

america will soon have the same brilliant commie types deciding on production. i can't wait to see the look on the average citizen when they can't wipe their arse.
This is one thing socialistic types have to understand:
"Money doesn't grow on trees, leaves do."
Use the damn leaves.
If the environmentalists don't like it, threaten to use them next.

Did you know? Americans could
save more than 400,000 trees
if each family bought a roll of
recycled toilet paper—just once.
Russia seems poised to take advantage of The Cuban Toilet Paper Crisis.
We should all be worried. Maybe send the Cubans some of that good ol' American TP.
