Too late. We already did. Unfortunately, we're not very good at occupation. Since they can't, by law, bankrupt, this should be interesting...

Send Jenny from the Block the bill......

Maybe Donald Trump can give them a bailout

Too late, they've invaded us.

The state debt clocks are fascinating.

Only for those that like horror movies, or slow down to a crawl to see car crashes

Central Florida too. Before I left Orlando 8 years ago the Orlando Sentinel had an article that said the the Central Florida area had replaced NYC as the most favored area for Puerto Ricans moving to the USA.

Iirc, there was a vote in Puerto Rico in the last couple of years concerning them becoming our 51st State. Although some of the residents wanted to become part of the US, the majority rejected it for one sole reason: They didn't want to have to pay taxes.

I would support an ultimatum: become a state or secure your independence. I have little concern either way. I just think this "half-pregnant" thing is unacceptable.

Wow! I didn't know the number was that big.

Considering their pathetic size that's an OUTRAGEOUS number. Anyone with children and grandchildren should be ashamed at what this nation is doing to future generations. It's shameful and dishonorable. It's sinful as a matter of fact.
