I don't think the "bitter" people will allow for a Spanish-speaking state with a majority of its population using the FIDC card. Both PNP and the PPD are extremely corrupt, but so are Louisiana and New Jersey.

I wish the statehooders the best, but they have an uphill battle. If I were a Boricua, I would support the status quo (but I am not, so my opinion doesn't matter).

I’m with you ... PR has all the benefits of statehood (welfare, etc) with none of the responsibilities (tax revenue submission, etc). IMHO there is no real reason to change status.
