The people of PR are free to go it alone.

In fact I would encourage them to do so. Apply to become a “commonwealth” of Spain.

What will be the difference other than they wont have to pretend to learn English anymore.

Er, the people of PR have pretty well proven that they can’t be trusted with the exchequer. They should have opted for Statehood at the last referendum. Then they could have run the place like California!!

Wait. They already were. Never mind.

“The problem is that Puerto Rico has lost the ability to elect competent leaders. The people want their stuff. When that happens, people need to be turned into subjects”

That MAY be true. But we don’t have to be their rulers.
Set them free.

Reminds me of an IMF scam, suck them into inexhaustible debt and bleed them dry.

The problem is that Puerto Rico has lost the ability to elect competent leaders. The people want their stuff. When that happens, people need to be turned into subjects.

When that happens the people and their enablers (the idiots who kept loaning them money) need to live with the consequences of their decisions. That includes bankruptcy and losses, not bailouts. Stupidity is a two way street in this case.

What do the two flags represent? Flag etiquette calls for the American flag be presented above any state or govenment agency (army navy etc) when on the same standard. Or if displayed on separate poles lower than the American flag.

Lyin Ryan DID push granny off the cliff with this PR bail out. Sickening.

His wife’s a Dem lobbyist, I hear.

Okay, lets understand TOTAL impact what this blithering idiot has just done to ensure he continues to ra$$ the American working stiffs:

Puerto Rico Rescue bill called PROMESA I
California Rescue bill called PROMESA II
Illinois Rescue bill called PROMESA III
New York Rescue bill called PROMESA IV
Connecticut Rescue bill called PROMESA V
Rhode Island Rescue bill called PROMESA VI
Massachusetts Rescue bill called PROMESA VII
Do you get the true picture of what is going to happen, yet?

Why all of these bailout bills? Well, it wouldn’t be fair to rescute just Puerto Rico would it?

Please note, there is no rescue bill for the tax payers is there? Just a endless series of bills to be paid before you feed and clothe your family.
