Let me ask you a question...
If the President and US Government told Puerto Rico that all of its debt, to the penny, would be canceled, but:
It is no longer a Commonwealth of the United States .... it’s people are no longer considered US Citizens ... those that left the island after the hurricane, moved to Florida and are currently growing roots there, with no sign or desire to ever return to the island, are not US citizens and have to go back ... and they are forever an independent country
Would you be okay with that? I damned sure would.
Give it back to Spain, no charge.
