    Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew got a first-hand look at the humanitarian impact of Puerto Rico's $70 billion debt crisis, touring an elementary school struggling with limited electricity and a hospital unable to provide some basic services to infants....... Garcia said that Puerto Rico is not asking for a bailout and has not been offered one...... "If Congress does not act then we will need a bailout, and it will be very expensive to U.S. taxpayers," he said.
