And so, for the third year in a row, our thoughtful and wise Congress [gag!] has decided that the Leftist politicians that dominate Puerto Rican seats of authority and all their ill-bred policies that steal from bondholders to give to the union cronies in a severely broken pension system, deserve to be saved once again using the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management and Economic Stability Act (PROMESA).
While both Democrats and Republicans assure us that this is not a bailout bill, they are lying through their teeth. The Democrats cannot help Puerto Rico anymore because of the runaway spending of a remote location that has little or no oversight in so far as fiscal responsibility is concerned and the Republicans are still reacting to the consultants from 2012 who said that we couldn’t win the presidency without the Hispanic vote. Because they still buy into this disproven theory, they decided that a Puerto Rican bailout was the right thing to do.
With many issues that are incredible to see repeated year after year, we have a chance to see our Grand Old Party’s wisdom in full operation as the Puerto Rican officials beg for $94M this year from the feds, only to turn around and hand out a very generous “Christmas bonus” to government employees in excess of $100M!

Give them zero and tha,tha,that’s all folks!
This is just how screwed up this place is
This is A big NO NO
Where does all the money come from……who recommends the bonus…..who approves it……who signs the dam check??? Is there any oversight or accountability in our federal government?!?!
No way.
I think not.
KMA
That is a lot of money
So you wonder what happened look no farther than their own government remember they stockpiled all of the relief supplies in warehouses so they could sell it on the under ground market after they pocketed their fair share of the money ..and all the time telling the media that Trump never helped he gave all the money and contracts to personalized companies remember that.. and the media and the Democrats are still trying to push this scenario that Trump left them high and dry
They should have to pay it all back,it was for the people to build again not for raises for-government employees
