Goodness!

Wouldn't ever community love such a sweet deal.

Is it because of the UFO base there? The mass guilt played skillfully like a piano by the politicians there? What resulted in such a raging sweet deal?

"What resulted in such a raging sweet deal?"

The only thing more surprising than what "a raging sweet deal" Puerto Rico has is how secret it's been kept from the U.S. Taxpayers!

My theory is that the political families that have engineered the massive give-a-way of U.S. Taxpayer's dollars to Puerto Rico also engineered their families and cronies to enrich themselves at our expense.

And for such a tiny island, Puerto Rico makes some hefty contributions to the political campaigns of both parties stateside.

There's just an absolute ton of U.S. Taxpayer's dollars to steal down there.

For instance, Puerto Rico's former Secretary of Education, Victor Fajardo had diverted $2 million federal dollars from the Dept. of Education to the Hispanic organization LULAC for air fair and convention costs.

He also got caught with $390,000 in his personal safe. Who knows how much he spent before he was caught.

They steal our money from federal programs like crazy down there.

Almost no mention of all of the corruption uncovered down there is ever made in the stateside press.
