I knew this was coming and could have predicted Booby Hatch would be leading the parade.

Additionally, the legislation includes financial oversight intended to help Puerto Rico attain financial and economic stability, while respecting Puerto Rico's autonomy.
Hopefully this "financial oversight" is not coming from the idiots managing the Federal budget.

It is a real crisis. If that island is allowed to capsize or sink, it could cause a serious tsunami.

“...while ensuring that people like the 16,000 Iowans who invested their hard-earned money in Puerto Rico’s tax free electric utility bonds, for example, aren’t left holding the bag.”
Why not? Again, we are playing favorites. I lost a bundle in my 401k in 2007, and nobody bailed me out! My retirement was forever changed by that debacle. Screw the Iowans, they bought $hit bonds, let them suck it up just like we had to. Grassley &Co are FOS!

Wasn’t there a time when Hatch wasn’t a raving lunatic.
I seem to remember many years ago, before dementia set in. He needs to retire and take the others with him.

Give Puerto Rico its independence and cut them loose. Its days of a coaling station for the U.S.Atlantic Fleet [NS Roosevelt Roads] and bombing and gunnery target [Viques Island] passed away many years ago and were closed. What else is PR good for? It is just a drain on the suffering U.S. taxpayer.

CONgre$$ should be in prison. Americans were not born to be debt slaves to ANY entity.
