De Blasio blames US racism for Puerto Rico’s money problems
NY Post ^ | May 8, 2016 | Mary Kay Linge

Racism is to blame for Puerto Rico’s dire fiscal situation, Mayor de Blasio charged Saturday.

“The backs of the United States government turned on them, while a health-care crisis grows, a humanitarian crisis grows, the Zika crisis grows,” he said in a speech at the National Action Network in Harlem.

That’s funny.

We were in PR a few years ago and the manager of the Ruth’s Chris in SJ told us he moved back to the island (his parents moved to NY when he was a kid) because he didn’t want to raise his kids in NY.

Racism? Sure...yeah...one of the greatest loves of my life at a young age was a Boricua who made such an impact it altered my standards of beauty forever so that the primary triggers for me to recognize beauty was black hair, brown skin an eyes.

But of course some lefty is going to twist reality, lie and diminished the years and years of American unity and embracing of different shades of "American" in order to promote the evil of socialism.

One they however, the next generation will have so many moreno conservative patriots these stinky vile bastard lefties may say the wrong thing at the wrong time and suffering the premature need of dentures.

Racism isn’t the cause of PR’s problems. The cause of PR’s problems are her imports. Her biggest import is US tax payer money in the form of welfare.

70% of the PR bums are on US tax payer funded welfare.

In a former life I had a boss, who although high in the banking and finance world, and very wealthy, still occasionally reverted to the plainspeak of the soybean fields of Delaware, where he grew up.

Upon reading these terminally stupid remarks of Mayor DeBloviate, he would have given the verdict: “Crazier than a $h!thouse rat!” And I would be inclined to agree.

This artifact of the Spanish-American War should have been cut loose after WW2 for the same reason as the Philippines. The US was out of the business of running other countries, i.e. colonialism. Yes, I understand it was not true colonialism but it had many similarities and absolutely none of the benefits.

There is method to his madness; yesterday he was on the news with Sharpton’s rabble telling them the federal investigation of his election schemes were motivated by those opposed to all of their progress. He is gathering the darker gibsmedats for a showdown with NY state’s (white) Dem hierarchy (including the governor) that is exposing his corruption and seeking to oust/arrest him.

Money should only be lent to governments to finance physical infrastructure.

Welfare and government operations need to be on a pay as you go basis.

Pensions must be keyed to a stable tax/funds available policy.

The fact that they have spent huge sums they didn’t have on their welfare
B.s. Sort of like Illinois doesn’t mean i should pay a penny to bail their worthless asses out.

“Blah, blah, blah, racist, blah, blah, blah, racism, blah, blah, blah”

He forgot ‘NAZI’. It’s no good without ‘NAZI’ or ‘disenfranchised’. It’s the same old crap over and over, you don’t even need to actually listen to them.

“That’s the communist playbook and he’s a true believer.”

He’s not a true believer, Communism is just for us not him.

Economists Worry About Growing Gap Between Rich and Economists

NEW YORK (DPI) - A panel of highly respected economists today expressed deep concern about the increasing difference in wealth between the world’s richest 1% and the world’s economists. “All of our studies show that the rich are getting richer and economists are not getting as rich,” said Edgar Lawson, Dean of Economics at Yale University. “This is a global problem that troubles us deeply,” added Simon Atkins, Chief Economist for Citigroup, “fortunately we are close to a solution which can be implemented immediately once we have the required funding.”
