Title: Time to free Puerto Rico as it asks for relief of $72 Billion in debt from US Taxpayers

If it was not for fear of Puerto Rico becoming another Soviet ally like Cuba, the USA would have freed that island long ago. Now we are stuck with a welfare island whose welfare taking citizens can just come to the USA with an American passport. But because of Hispanic politics and maybe lingering love of empire from the Military Industrial Complex, no American politician dares promise to free Puerto Rico. What would Puerto Rico do? Refuse to leave being a colony? That would be a first. At least under the old system Cold War, Puerto Rico made money for American businesses as a plantation island and as a steam ship era naval base.

The issue is with PR's energy department. About 85% of the debt is owed for and about imported petroleum as they have, quite literally, not much for themselves in natural energy supplies that have been exploited or otherwise cultivated for commercial use.

Almost all of Congress agree to accept statehood for PR. With this "crisis," watch both PR/USA governments manage the economic uncertainty of past mistakes into viable statehood solutions.

Anyone want to wager that PR becomes the next US state?

They have plenty of "energy": THE SUN.

Solar panels ought to blanket the entire island.

Yep. We know where this is heading. In the same year the idiots will make DC a "state" as well.

Excellent! Surf's up!

Who shall invest in PR's infrastructure? You or me? How about you knocking on your next door neighbour's front door and pitching PR's SUN & FUN while they don't produce a dime?

Yeah ... lib ... let's see you sell the idea.

Hey -- we'd both pitch it to this gubmint...win the bid ($500m sound good to you?) And we'd park our yacht off shore, watching the start-up epic fail go down (as i/2 of it sits in Cayman.) Commie-Crony Crapitalism at its best.

What ever you do, don't buff the speedoes while wearing them in publick; it could cause some unintended opinions 'bout yourself.
