There's no talk whatsoever about asking or even considering a federal bailout. Zero. Zip. Nada.

This kind of thing would never happen on the mainland. 8^)
Notable government shutdowns that occurred in the United States include the December 16, 1995, to January 6, 1996, federal shutdown (furlough of an estimated 284,000 federal employees), which followed a brief November 14-19 (furlough of an estimated 800,000 federal employees), 1995 shutdown, and the 2005 Minnesota state shutdown, during the first two weeks of July, 2005.

Close the borders fast! Puerto Rico is an American overseas commonwealth. Its citizens are US citizens, with US Passports. they come in and go out of the United States as they please. They have Sears, Wal-Mart, and the National Guard
They always have three choices when it comes up for a vote: remain in their present status; try for statehood, become an independent nation. So far, they have voted to remain as an American Commonwealth.

"Over 90,000 public employees were laid off until June 30."
So that's how you get rid of useless, left wing functionairies - you spend yourself out of the bureaucracy. Cool.

Nope absolutely not. But my main concern right now is the issue I speak about most.
