Write a check, Yeb!

We do not need another socialist in capitalist clothing Bush for President to socially engineer and fleece us for his crony donors and friends!!!
At least he’s not pardoning FALN terrorists. Yet.
So we can be assured the Bushes haven’t lent PR any money.
Any bailout would also include the corrupt thieving politicians running Puerto Rico into the ground
