HOLY CRAP! President Trump's decision to fire the Democrat Puerto Rico financial oversight board members has just been totally vindicated.
The attorneys and consultants overseeing the Puerto Rico bankruptcy have spent millions on luxurious properties while everyday residents are dealing with dilapidating buildings.
This comes after the board spent over 5 TIMES as much as estimated - over $2 billion on these "consultants," when $370M was expected.
The waste, fraud and abuse has gone too far. It has to be cleaned up.

I spent a wonderful week traveling around Puerto Rico decades ago. Bought an extraordinay painting at the Haitian Gallery in the Hilton Hotel in San Juan. . People were friendly and we were safe.
I’ve heard that there’s horrible crime there now, can’t go out at night and have to be very careful all day.
Just don’t improve Puerto Rico too much or making it a State will be a good idea AGAIN
Very bad idea.
Two new free US Senate seats for Democrats.
Plus electoral college votes for Puerto Rico.
Best thing is to dump Puerto Rico now.
The anti corruption bandwidth of the Trump administration is breathtaking. Absolutely astonishing!
Whether Elon Musk is still involved or not, some of this can be to his credit. Trump has the will. Elon had the way.
Disgusting!
Dems dream of making Puerto Rico a state
Can you imagine the graft and corruption that would bring on
See post 4.
Docked there twice with Royal Caribbean.
Won’t even get off the boat.
They do not share our past or identity or English language.
The cost to bring this third world cesspool up to our standards would be staggering and honest they just aren’t worth it.
But you are right dems only look at 2 more senators and at least one congress critter.
Plus, an excuse to redesign the US Flag.
Hooray, Mr. President! Keep up the good work. Kick the tires and light the fires, Mr President.
