Puerto Rico is just one step ahead of the rest of the country in terms of playing out the last stages of the Welfare State. Live beyond its means, tax and borrow to pay for it and then collapse when you can’t squeeze and more tax revenue out of the producers and the suckers stop lending to you.
Also, don’t forget, they just had to have vieques back which in turn ran the US Navy out. No telling how many billions their not receiving now because the Navy is gone. That must have had an impact.
Someone posted that a citizen in Puerto Rico could be considered Disabled and receive SSI for not being able to speak English. What’s up with that?
The death throes of Socialism are upon us. There are not enough people to pull the wagon.
