They ran out of other people’s money.

But used it for generations to keep the corrupt in power.

Money leaves a trail.

Where did the money go?

This default will effect far more than FLA.

The insurers, grandmas and those holding the wrong end of the Credit Default Swap.

With Greece defaulting, there could be a cascade effect that will put a brokerage or two on the bubble.

So Puerto Rico and California share more than their native language of Spanish?

Why do I think I’ll end up helping pay off this debt, which was incurred buying votes for Democrats and providing benefits to useless people who hate me?

Maybe it’s time to make it legal to declare Chapter 9 bankruptcy and start all over again. They may just do that with the City of Chicago pension fund soon.

73 billion dollars with a population of 3.7 million is some pretty impressive spending.

Watch what happens to Puerto Rico’s debt problem, it’s going to be the RAT’S solution to the debts they have run up in the cities, counties and states that they control.

From the standpoint of the US, the best thing that could happen with regard to Puerto Rico is that it sink under the ocean. If we make it a state, it will become like Quebec, an unassimilated lump that is a drain on our economy. If we give it independence, it will soon be taken over by someone like Chavez or Castro, who will side with our enemies (Chinese or Russian or Iranian missiles?). Bad as the current situation is, there seems to be no good alternative. It's a tar baby.

Puerto Rico was doing well for a short time, but ‘Rats regained the governorship and now look at things. I hope this isn’t the first of a series of dominos.

The dominoes need to fall!

The jig is up. It's game over. And one can hope the guilty criminal architects will suffer hardest, but we all know that won't ever happen.

Years before the dotcom bust, I asked my friends who freely chose to “invest” in those companies, WHY????

The dotcoms sold no products, had no profits or business plans, and outside of marketing ponzi schemes, had no value.

Before the housing bust, I was screaming it was insane of the Fed government to allow/require financial companies to set up $0 down loans, with no income verification, who then re-sold those “mortgages” as legitimate products to “pension investment funds”.

And don't even get me started on “derivative markets”. So here we all are, gathered together to suffer the consequences of tolerating greed and corruption.

Nothing will change for the very rich and the very poor.
The vast majority of the middle class OTOH, will be killed off, one way or the other, by the New World Order.
