It's hard to feel sorry for Puerto Rico, they done this to themselves by over selling bonds, they were warned in the late 80s by Congress they needed to deal with it's debt, instead of dealing with the issue they maintained the status quo selling bonds and the people continued to vote the SOBs back into office year after year after year causing the infrastructure to suffer, today they are reaping what they sowed. They didn't listen in the 80s and now they cry today blaming the Republicans, fxxk em! They had no growth drivers strictly relying on bonds, huge huge government for it's size, extremely large unfunded pension liability $7 billion. Puerto Rico receives 20+ billion a year in Federal aid (population under 4 million) with the big portion going to welfare over 2 billion, the money was plundered (some call it mismanaged)
Puerto Rico is a $103 billion economy, also receives 20+ billion a year in Federal aid, they are $70 billion in debt with a population of less than 4 million and an infrastructure in disrepair creating a bigger mess than need be after the hurricane... feel sorry? hell no.
If anyone that should be feeling sorry it's the Puerto Rican citizens for what they are doing to the US taxpayers and let that bxtch of a mayor from San Juan sink in the whole she helped dig!!!
