Did you know that if Puerto Rico orders something from from a foreign country, the ship or plane has to go to the U.S. mainland first and be carried to Puerto Rico by a U.S. ship or plane that Puerto Rico then pays for its services?Puerto Rico is very socially conservative. RDean is wrong to place blame on just republicans. The blame falls on the U.S. and Puerto Rico's management of what control the U.S. allows them over their government.GOP to Puerto Rico: 'Drop dead'
Despite feverish efforts by the White House and congressional Democrats to insert a provision into the federal spending bill that would allow the Caribbean island territory to tackle its massive $72 billion debt through bankruptcy restructuring, top Republicans in the Senate scuttled it at the last minute.
TOP REPUBLICANS REJECT FEDERAL AID TO PR
Their refusal now leaves Puerto Rico just two weeks away from the biggest municipal bond default in American history.
GOP Won't Help Puerto Rico
But so it goes. More than a century after the "splendid little war" by a Republican administration that brought them into the American fold, the island's inhabitants are still waiting for a little love and respect from the Grand Old Party.

Wow, I thought Republicans were through with Hispanics. Seems they are just getting started. All those Puerto Ricans in Florida. Think they are going to vote Republican?
Gotta love R-Derp! I mean seriously! You've got yet another liberal enclave that's "progressed" it's way to the brink of bankruptcy but it's the GOP's fault because they refuse to bail them out?
They fuck up their country and it's our fault somehow?
Yes, the U.S. rules Puerto Rico, but you don't want to accept any of the blame.
Revolution. Go for it.
