Isn't it time to cut the umbilical cord, the apron strings, whatever, and let PR go off on its own? They apparently feel that they are ready for this, kicking the Navy off that island, and taking control of their own lives. More power to them!
Classic "cut off your nose to spite your face" moment!!
Maybe they could take the more virulent Hollywood pukes off our hands and set up a little Hollywood" for themselves to bring in some money. Kill two birds with one stone.....
We should have cut the umbilical with Puerto Rico decades and $100's of Billions of squandered U.S. Taxpayer's hard-earned dollars ago.
Puerto Rico has never appreciated a dime of the $100's of Billions we've given them.
