You know, if there is one good thing about this war, it is that it is distracting Congress from running our lives.

I see also that Puerto Rico's total public debt just surged to $32.4 billion.

Now, might not be the best time for Puerto Rico to dare the U.S. Congress to give them their independence and cut them off without one red cent of the $18.8 billion plus in federal hand-outs they receive every year.

'Might not be prudent.' ;^)

Here's another fun Puerto Rico fact.

Puerto Rico receives $1.3 billion from the U.S. Taxpayers, each year, for Food Stamps. They allow their recipients to withdraw 25% of that money in cash ($325 million) that can be spent on anything they want. For instance, illegal drugs.

Do either of you know, if Food Stamp recipients stateside are allowed to do this, as well?
