yes, and thats is why we have to stop all of our citizens from trying to escape to cuba....

"staffed with overworked, underpaid, disaffected teachers who have to teach overcrowded classes with outdated materials. In this lovely system of ours, a teacher with a masters degree makes $20,000 less than a garbageman. Man, does that make me feel all warm and tingly about the cleanliness of our streets as compared to the importance of the education of our nation's youth."

and both positions are not MARKET posistions, but state run positions. Thus the discrepancy. The funny thing is, your solution IS the problem

"It's funny how the incentiveless communist state of Cuba has so many more people with graduate and professional degrees per capita than our 'meritocratic' system of capitalism here. It's funny how they have more doctors, a higher literacy rate, and an economy that has yet to collapse after 42 years of a trade and travel embargo from half the world's wealth. It's funny that people even clean the streets there, too. "

yes, and today everyone is thrilled about being worked on a doctor with a Degree from university of havanna....

A paper from a corrupt government does not a doctor make.

Here is some real facts for ya from the cia world fact book...

Infant Mortality.
America 6.75 deaths/1,000 live births
Cuba 7.15 deaths/1,000 live births

life expectancy is less as well... i guess that is because they have so many good doctors...

GDP Per Capita...

Cuba-2,300
America-37,600

Holy Crap! Communism does benefit the people!!!

But hey, this is just tempory.

Growth of GDP

Cuba--0% (woohooo, now that is progressive)

America--2.45%

Lets see how this abudence of skilled labour employees itself in cuba!

agriculture: 7.6%
industry: 34.5%
services: 57.9% (2000 est.)

Thats right! Almost half use there great education to make cigars or grows beans!

America

agriculture: 2%
industry: 18%
services: 80% (2002)

Actually, America and Cuba have the same literacy rate, 97%...
"and an economy that has yet to collapse after 42 years "

But has yet to grow.... Unforunately that would take innovation, which communism is designed to kill.
