Puerto Rico ping
Democrats hoping to buy a new State ?
Money for nothing and chicks for free.
What do I need to do to get you into a bailout today?
The people of Puerto Rico voted for going broke.
Their politicians got rich. Go get the money from them.
The government of Puerto Rico has been running a Ponzi Scheme for years.
Here’s an idea.
Puerto Rico should cut expenditures until they match what they make in taxes.
You know.....like everyone else has to do.
Here comes the bailout.
