This is a horrible bill. Americans shouldn't be travelling to Cuba under any circumstances. Any dollar sent to or spent in Cuba is helping prop up a socialist dictatorship.

"Shouldn't" travel to Cuba does not equal "WILL be threatened by armed men with being put in a cage for the CRIME of travelling to Cuba".

Spending dollars domestically is no worse. Actually it is worse. It's like cutting your own throat.
