Yes. “spend my money on a foreign country”
What “foreign country are you referring to then?
"I live in Buffalo, New York. Mighty big of the governor to spend my money on a foreign country." This was sarcasm.
"(I know what Puerto Rico is)." This was a signal to those who might not have GOT the sarcasm, that it was sarcasm (in case you weren't sure)
" It would be nice if Andrew Cuomo JUST ONCE ever gave more than a passing thought to New York State taxpayers." This was the point of the post, and should have tied it all together for you. Unless you are going to tell me that, while, YES, Puerto Rico is an American Protectorate, according to the codicil of 1796, New York State is responsible for its well-being, I am not sure what mandate Andrew Cuomo has to bestow upon Puerto Rico the largess of the New York State Treasury. He certainly has never ran on such a platform.
Now, one supposes that Andrew Cuomo wishes to run for president. Perhaps, (and I defer to your obviously superior logic), just perhaps, he is angling to curry favor with the Puerto Rican/Hispanic strata of our population. Perhaps, (and this is only perhaps), he thinks that taking a back-handed swipe at President Trump will pay dividends in a general election. But, this summer, parts of southern Erie County and Wyoming County were hit by a rare tornado. These areas were adversely affected. These areas are DECIDELY within the sovereign territory of New York State. Not incidently, these rural areas vote overwhelmingly Republican. Not incidently, Andrew Cuomo doesn't give a rat's ass about these areas (except when it comes to the New York State Department of Taxation).
So, YES. I KNOW that Puerto Rico is a territory of the United States. Despite the fact that they speak Spanish, and field their own team in the World Baseball Classic and Olympic games. I know. You are right. And you are denser than depleted uranium.
