Castro expects the goods up front and gives his IOU.

If that is satisfactory with the companies who trade there then it is their choice. That can in no way be construed to be a burden on the American taxpayer. I am not obligated to bail out some company that agrees to those stipulations and then goes belly up. Sorry that you think this is so.

and why anti-embargo groups are screaming-- government backed=taxpayers.

And as for the company taking losses, it reminds me of shoplifters' gains being paying consumers' higher costs.
