Someone forgot to tell Puerto Rico the wise adage: “If you don’t have the cash, then don’t buy it!” The island territory has a debt of $70 billion dollars, is at risk to default come January, 2016, on $900 million and decided to “charge” Christmas bonuses for government employees, to the tune of $120 million.
Someone needs to cut off the allowance, take away the credit cards and require a Dave Ramsey course for imprudent squandering territory.
One-hundred-thirty-six years ago, Puerto Rico enacted a law that requires Christmas bonuses to be paid to government workers. No thought was apparently given to the economic ups and downs that would absolutely occur in this territory. No one took into account that perhaps a LAW was too binding and therefore should not create a promise that was not good for the country and would never be revoked.
But in 1969, Puerto Rico must have been feeling generous when they included mandatory Christmas bonuses. In 2015, Puerto Rico is standing with its tin cup, at the White House door, begging alms for the poor.
On the next page, read how we are enabling Puerto Rico, instead of cutting off the slush fund.
OMG….Not necessary.. We are trillions in debt..Insanity…
The ones, that when they are in a congressional hearing, are completely unprepared to answer most the questions they are asked. Why do they even have a job, if they cannot do it properly?

What is wrong with this picture??
The problem, Angel Toro, is bigger than this world’s knowledge. Here…let me explain:
The problem is much deeper than any election, or National leader, or even the UN or Globalist/Elitist. The problem is that there is a war going on for a leadership of all mankind. This war has gone on since the very beginning, and has been waging for ever. It’s a war between good and evil, and it’s almost concluded. It will be the Ultimate battle, and the battlefield will culminate with Israel. The enemies are deadly, and will do battle until the Greatest King defeats our greatest enemy. This will be the battle of Armageddon. Yes, this will be the bloodiest and most fiercely fought battle of all times, but in the end, the enemy is defeated forever. We must choose are sides now: shall we choose good or choose evil? This battle will be fought first, within your heart, as you decide who you will allow to be the ruler in your life: either Truth, or lie. See this video, and then, decide.
