We can and should just, unilaterally, give them their independence and cut them off. Yank their statutory citizenship. Period. End of this sad Socialist experiment.

Every U.S. Taxpayer should visit Puerto Rico at least once. Just go have a look at how we've squandered $100's of billions of dollars to ensure that the world's biggest ingrates have the best of everything that U.S. Taxpayer's hard-earned dollars can buy them.

$20 BILLION dollars each year could repair alot of roads, bridges and infrastructure in the continental United States.

Remember what our pandering politicians squander in Puerto Rico everytime they tell us we don't have the money in the budget to repair or replace our own crumbling infrastructure.

Same reason I buy a Korean car. If I bought an American car, I'd be helping the UAW give money to Gebhardt and our country would be ruined.

I'm not sure I'm following you. Maybe you could clarify.

If you mean that by sending 1,000's and 1,000's of our federal and private sector jobs to the ingrates in Puerto Rico that we're keeping money out of the hands of our pandering politicians in both Parties, you're sadly mistaken.

The largest single donation to Bill Clinton's '96 re-election campaign, $250,000, came from Puerto Rico. Jeb Bush picked up a cool $150,000 the last time he went to Puerto Rico.

All of our pandering politicians, that supported gifting billions dollars of the U.S. Taxpayer's property on the island of Vieques to the ingrates in Puerto Rico, have had their palms greased with our recycled tax dollars.

The 'fat-cats' running the South Korean auto industry probably have their ways of greasing our slime-ball politician's palms, too.

Screwing-up our balance of trade further doesn't do anything, but hurt our country further.

You're playing right into the hands of the very Liberal politicians you despise!

Think about it.

Our National Debt has hemorrhaged to $7 Trillion dollars, thousands and thousands of our federal and private sector jobs are sent to the 3rd-world, Americans are buying a record amount of foreign made cars and other products and some Freepers celebrate our country's financial destruction because they erroneously believe that it keeps their money out of the hands of Liberal politicians.

The strategy is to send all of our manufacturing jobs overseas, so that the members of the UAW and others have less money to send our pandering politicians?

Is there a more glaring example of a doomed to fail attempt to 'cut off one's nose to spite one's own face'?

I know, let's send thousands of our jobs and $20 BILLION dollars to every island in the Caribbean and country in Central and South America each year, graycamel! That'll teach those Liberals.

Brilliant!!!

Actually the Kia I bought was used, so it didn't matter.
