Wait. Why I laugh?
Here’s how P.R. works. San Juan is a 1st world city; it has everything. GOPe and liberals, e.g., the uniparty, suck it dry and benefit from the status quo; they want nothing new, no different, just keep the gravy boat full.
Stimulus/rescue plan is no different from Helicopter Ben. Money to keep the gravy boat full.
The rest of P.R....I rented a car and drove all around the country on my honeymoon. I’m surprised the stray dogs aren’t eaten for food. Cars are left where they died. Trash. Shantyville everywhere. 13 year olds drive cars on roads like maniacs (I’ve been to Grenada, and the driving there is controlled, precise, the best drivers in the world)...but in P.R., no sir. Chaos.
Bailout is stealing from you and I to line Ryan’s and the other liberals and GOPers’ pockets.
There will be no new jobs in P.R.
There will be no new startup companies.
There will be the same stray dogs, same abandoned cars, same infrastructure.
Ah, but wait, if the hurricane season has just one good one to hit P.R., there will be an excuse to give them another hundred million of our money...likely double what would be needed to help P.R. “recover”...but where would the additional $ go? Yup, Ryan’s pocket.
I could start quoting Gollum and pocketses and stuff...
Ryan is such a skanky skunk. Looks like he emulates muzzles when he is wearing his beard. It is trendy, you know.
Some 411 about Ryan:
He's mentioned that his BEST bud in congress is one Luis Gutierrez (LG), FLAMING LEFTIST DEMOCRAT from Illinois. You know, the home of Chicago and Cook County where, in addition to others, the elections of Kennedy and obozo were STOLEN by the Democrat machine!
Why is his closeness to Luis of interest? Their ratings by several outfits that do that sort of thing may be an indicator. The lower the score (on a scale from "0" to "100" at CU and from "A" to "F" at GRADEGOV) on the more radically leftist the member.
CONSERVATIVE UNION: RYAN 89/LG 4.45! (Yes, that's 4.45!!!)
GRADEGOV.COM: RYAN "B+"/LG "F"
HERITAGE SCORE: RYAN (NOT AVAILABLE)/LG 19 (I assume when Ryan got the Speaker's job, Heritage stopped rating him.)
Speaking of his elevation to Speaker, a funny thing happened there. Before he'd take the job, Ryan demanded a change in the process for motion to vacate the chair ESTABLISHED by THOMAS JEFFERSON, leading some opponents to call him "King Paul".
MY question is this: Does Ryan's friendship with a radical leftist like LG mean he naively believes he can convert LG to conservatism? Or, like his apparent affection for obozo, manifested most conspicuously by his cave over on nearly every one of obozo's moves to operate outside the Constitution, grow the bureaucracy, use illegal immigrant welfare, etc. to break the bank via Cloward- Piven, supporting open amnesty, the continued importation of UNVETTED muslim INVADERS, etc, do those friendships and "accommodations" indicate -- despite a fairly high score as a "conservative" -- a concealed leftist leaning that will become more apparent as we grow closer to the philosophical, moral and fiscal drain we've been circling for decades and multiple administrations?
Just askin'.
And as troubling as the image above is, the one below is doubly troubling, especially now that EVEN MANY EUROPEAN and AFRICA NATIONS ARE GETTING IT and DEPORTING MUSLIMS, OUTLAWING SHARI'A LAW AND DEMOLISHING MOSQUES.
Methinks Paul, while ragging Trump for drifting with the wind, goes wherever the slightest zephyr takes him!

This sets up the framework for every other state to get a bail-out. These establishment republicans are total pigs. Disgusting.
That is NOT what this bill does. THERE IS NO BAILOUT . This
bill forces PR to go into bankruptsy and forces them to not only to restructure their debt .But address conditions which caused it
(HENCE HEDGE FUNDS WHO BOUGHT THESE WORTHLESS BONDS ISSUED BY PR FIGURING US WOULD BAIL THEM OUT AT 100% PLUS GET A TAX WRITE OFF. NOW HAVE TO SETTLE THAT WORTHLESS INVESTMENT FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR.
This bill was organized by Wisconsin Sean Duffy.
Puerto Rico now has to reorganize their system similar to what Detroit is doing. It surprisingly was supported by the entire Wisconsin congressional delegation which included some very socialists.
Hey what’s another printing of $71B? Small plantains:-)
Ryan’s such a disappointment...
