I agree with Trump on not bailing out Puerto Rico but want to point out that $70 billion in debt for 3.5 million people translates to $20,000 in debt per resident.

But take our $18.2 TRILLION in debt and divide it among our 300 million people and you come up with around $60,000 per person - or triple that of Puerto Rico.

Maybe my math is a little off.

puerto rico has $20,000 debt per citizen.

the US is running with a debt of $58,000 per citizen.

puerto rico is financially sound in comparison

Remember when $45 billion was considered excessive debt for the entire US government? $70 billion for Puerto Rico now? Let them all just move to NYC.

America first!

Can’t believe there are so-called conservatives who are going to sit this one out.

When one of your biggest expenses is “thievery”, you’re going to have problems.

Move all the Puerto Ricans to Massachusetts and give the island to the Marines.

A bailout for Puerto Rico or a bailout of bankers and wealthy investors?
